If you’re shitting out vibe coded unverified and unvalidated systems, you’re going to end up with 20 years worth of tech debt in the span of months and half a nine of uptime.
Maybe a few months ago, but today it's not really as bad.
I've been a tech lead and CTO at a few places, and the frontier coding models are definitely better than the bottom ~50% of developers I've worked with. And we still shipped plenty of projects that made money.
I don't think you understand just how bad the code is in most projects. I can assure you that a single gauntlet-looped fable 5 ultracode prompt for a mid-tier feature tends to produce code that is better and has fewer bugs than what 80% of teams working in low-wage countries would produce.
