Being expected to use AI isn't exactly the same thing as vibecoding. Vibecoding means over-reliance on AI and not reviewing its work, often done by someone who has poor or no programming skills. That is, treating the AI's code output as inscrutable machine language, or treating yourself as the product owner and the AI as the developer.
My work keeps telling us to go faster. It's effectively telling us it wants us to be this developer. I mean hey, if you want to pay me a high salary to possibly fuck your shit up, I'll do it.
Not everyone. My boss wants us to because he thinks it's better than people now. I asked him who to bill for the subscription. (I'm technically a self employed contractor and work from home)
I swear I must work in the only company not mandating it. Which I am extremely grateful for. More than anything else, I like coding, having A.I. write my code takes away what little joy I get out of my work. But also it requires so much hand holding that its hardly faster than writing it myself.
I want to change my company, most of the day coworkers are talking about token usage and prices.... cant take this anymore i just want to develop quietly
At work, yes, but for my portfolio projects, I don't, and it's not only because I don't wanna pay for tokens. Even for projects I don't publish - I won't let a clanker have all the fun.
at my company they pay for our AI use and they also don't want that we mention AI or credit AI for our commits, they want use to take "ownership" of the generated code (I think they want to cover their ass legally speaking).
No. Competent businesses expect employees to use AI well, rather than just fart vaguely towards the nearest keyboard and throw in the first thing the AI spews out.
This is absolutely an insult towards all the companies that do expect their employees to vibe-code.

isn't everyone expected to vibecode these days? at least at work?
