It's only the best option if you are a grifter or grifting the grifter. vibe coding is running roughshod the outsourcing industry. Lots of companies started using it to produce basic throwaway apps and slowly but surely degrades developer's talent pool. now we get lots of low-grade "developers" who can write prompts and want big bucks for it but can't pass a mid-level live coding session because their skills are not up the snuff.
Sure, but let’s also not discount the idea that a significant percentage of businesses need no more than a single static HTML page for their website. I don’t find it a problem for a person to vibe code that up instead of hiring a real web developer.
those businesses are not really the target audience for Ukrainian outsourcing companies though. they want the big bucks nice and easy and cut corners more than they should in many cases. On the other hand - there are many Ukrainian small businesses that benefitted greatly from no-code and vibe coding tools that handle their small scale needs - that kind of streamlining helped them focusing on what actually affects their business on the ground
When did Ukrainian come into it? I went back to the article but half of it was behind a paywall
nowhere, I just relayed my personal observation regarding vibe coding in Ukraine as one of the examples
