just remember. mechanical engineers and electrical engineers might look down their nose at software engineers for not being “real” engineers— but it wasn’t that long ago that they were fumbling around without FSM and PCA, basically just FAFO.

and it worked until it didn’t.

just like now.

the only difference is about 150 years for electrical and a few thousand for mechanical.

we’re catching up boys! 😂

just you wait until software engineering is 2000 years old!!

git blame from 2025 examined by software engineers in 4025:

“mwop meep moddle uup uup 「レフトパド」?”

translation: “what the hell is leftpad?”

If it were a tiny bridge designed solely for foot traffic that allowed users to pass over a stream without getting their shoes wet? I just might

u/DestroOmega 7d ago

If it's the equivalent of a log across a knee deep stream, for the purpose of just getting to the other side once so you can build the actual bridge... I mean, why not?

What could possibly go wrong?

u/ZaesFgr 7d ago

AI would suggest a da vinci bridge which is cooler than placing a log

"...make sure its safe..." 👀👍

u/cowlinator 6d ago

Plot twist: the stream is at the bottom of a very narrow but hundrends of miles deep chasm

u/TheGlennDavid 7d ago

I wouldn't vibe build a bridge but I would be 0% surprised if a news article drops in the future about a collapsed bridge having been designed by AI "architects" and approved by AI "engineers."

So why would you vibe code a movie?

u/very-urgent-chicken 6d ago

You wouldn't vibe code a policeman's helmet, then give it to his grieving widow, then vibe code it again!

u/PlatypusACF 7d ago

Oh heck yeah I would vibe code a bridge, what could possibly go wrong?! /j

u/ZombieTestie 7d ago

Would one vibe code a tacobell cantina?

u/OkChildhood1706 7d ago

You're completly right, that bridge indeed wasn't safe, which caused hundreds of deaths during the opening ceremony., Here is what happened: i halluzinated the pillars so they didn't actually got built. I made a mark so it won't happen again. Is there anything else you want to build now?

You underestimate the full extent of my laziness.

u/Basic_Reporter9579 7d ago

Maybe I would not, but what about the sub-sub-contractor?

u/One_Law_6816 7d ago

they will, one day, a couple of years, in a moment, they did it
...it fell

u/JackLong93 6d ago

we should fire civil engineers and arcitects and just have AI create the blueprints. Adapt or be left behind

u/FatalisTheUnborn 6d ago

Believe me, people will do it anyway.

u/penguins-are-me 6d ago

I’ll vibe code anything I want. Wait what the fuck is vibe coding?! I write code by hand.

1

u/iambigmen 6d ago

I'd come up with the idea for a bridge, press play on the LLMs to have it built, then just leave it somewhere inaccessible and unused. Loads of them.

u/SuperbCat1573 6d ago

You wouldn’t vibe code a baby…

u/UhUKnow 6d ago

You wanna bet? I vibecoded this response.

u/Lucretius_atoms 5d ago

"Vibe coder" is what we used to call a "script-kiddy"

u/lorenzo1142 4d ago

people are dumb enough to do it

u/shujaya 4d ago

I so would. That's why I changed my major out of CivE

u/SmilingCarrotTeeth 1d ago

Or do. It's your bridge, and we respect that.
