slippery slope fallacy
It's not a fallacy if the slope actually is slippery.
Technical debt is a very real thing that has been around for a long time and is well documented.
AI code is not old enough for the technical debt to have really hit hard yet.
Yet it's old enough to declare so worthless that any inclusion damns the whole project.
Except, of course, that this not an imagined or even unlikely outcome; so, no, by definition your link fits not apply.
Maybe read what you link???
'It works fine now, but what about after years of this very recent development?' is absolutely imagined.
You wanna argue for it? Argue. Don't posture.
It doesn't work fine now, though; that's the whole point. Vibe coding has resulted in numerous public failures, many of them costly. All avoidable.
The tech debt involved is not some imaginary thing. A bullshit generator on steroids giving you magic coding power is, however, completely imaginary.
And telling someone else "don't posture"?!? Then explain YOUR argument! Are you for real?!?
