"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

Almost like its a desperate bid to blow another stock/asset bubble to keep 'the economy' going, from C suite, who all knew the housing bubble was going to pop when this all started, and now is.

Funniest thing in the world to me is high and mid level execs and managers who believe their own internal and external marketing.

The smarter people in the room realize their propoganda is in fact propogands, and are rolling their eyes internally that their henchmen are so stupid as to be true believers.

The people talking about AI coding the most at my job are architects and it drives me insane.

Might be there someday, but right now it’s basically a substitute for me googling some shit.

If I let it go ham, and code everything, it mutates into insanity in a very short period of time.

I'm honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn't true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

A crazy number of devs weren't even using EXISTING code assistant tooling.

Enterprise grade IDEs already had tons of tooling to generate classes and perform refactoring in a sane and algorithmic way. In a way that was deterministic.

So many use cases people have tried to sell me on (boilerplate handling) and im like "you have that now and don't even use it!".

I think there is probably a way to use llms to try and extract intention and then call real dependable tools to actually perform the actions. This cult of purity where the llm must actually be generating the tokens themselves... why?

I'm all for coding tools. I love them. They have to actually work though. Paradigm is completely wrong right now. I don't need it to "appear" good, i need it to BE good.

But will something be done about it?

NOooOoOoOoOoo. As long as it is still the new shiny toy for techbros and executive-bros to tinker with, it'll continue.

I'd much rather write my own bugs to have to waste hours fixing, thanks.

It remains to be seen whether the advent of “agentic AIs,” designed to autonomously execute a series of tasks, will change the situation.

“Agentic AI is already reshaping the enterprise, and only those that move decisively — redesigning their architecture, teams, and ways of working — will unlock its full value,” the report reads.

"Devs are slower with and don't trust LLM based tools. Surely, letting these tools off the leash will somehow manifest their value instead of exacerbating their problems."

Absolute madness.

I miss the days when machine learning was fun. Poking together useless RNN models with a small dataset to make a digital Trump that talked about banging his daughter, end endless nipples flowing into America. Exploring the latent space between concepts.

It turns every prototyping exercise into a debugging exercise. Even talented coders often suck ass at debugging.

The biggest value I get from AI in this space is when I get handed a pile of spagehtti and ask for an initial overview.

I am jack's complete lack of surprise.
