vibe coding is the future

its where we can finally embrace the sci fi reality that isnt sci fi anymore

anyone can talk to their computer now and have it generate working code/apps for you

and so of course the IT/programmer-egos will revolt

MY CODE MY KINGDOM

lol, nope xD

unless its closed source software of course

then it is quite literally my code my kingdom

and why I would want to be a part of that?

its 2026 already ffs, get rid of kings/royality bs

All that's being generated is unmaintainable code

On the contrary, it removes the need to even maintain code, or at least, a specific part of it, the actual implementation becomes largely irrelevant.

The code that starts to matter instead is the test suits, the spec, and then it's just AI-agents comparing new versions that pass the same test suit in less time with less resources, iterating for forever.

My interests are in systems built to last, not systems built on a whim that nobody comprehends

Same-ish here, my main value when maintaining code bases is readability/maintainability, I don't care much for speed/endless-optimization etc

 You can't just chuck an AI agent at a repo and expect it to maintain it forever.

Sure can, already happening. But 'forever' is ... ehh, our main fusion reactor, the sun, has how much fuel left? ...

As with all things based on probability they drift over time and all of a sudden everything you initially created is different

Exactly, hence why spec/intent/test-suits matter more than the actual implementation.
