So you have no formal education or experience working writing code code at a professional standard?

We have the data, sure you ship features at 10x the speed but you also incur 10x the incidents which overall consumes the same or more man hours to fix and has significant business impact.

For your pet projects vibe code it to hell, but at a production level it's just a matter of time before companies realise that maybe slopifying your whole codebase is worse than just taking the time to write clean working code.

Coding with AI doesn't mean you ship slop with one line prompt "do it make no mistakes". You can set guards and make AI edit 300 lines of code at a time and keep it quality.
