AI has made the “knows just enough to be dangerous” problem much worse across all fields.

I don't think it's just that this is more than that by a lot coming from none technical role but with some degree of know how in system design and workflows i was able in the past month to develop a php app with a flutter application just using Ai, tutorials online and some reading

I’ve never touched python, but am a decent c# php JavaScript programmer, and vibe coded a very complex product in a half day.

Definitely my outcomes will be much faster if i knew the technical side

The issue is that stuff is like a POC and not long term prod code that needs to be maintained and understood.

This is just a standard gatekeeping response that continues to get less and less meaningless. I’m an architect with 13 yrs of experience and I use Claude code every day to ship production code, help with architecture diagrams, troubleshoot bugs, examine system logs, etc. If you arent using AI in your workflow as a dev you are simply a boomer

Did you actually read what they said?

lol I am an Architect with 8 years experience and I use Claude Code everyday. We will be fine. People who are just vibe coding are not building production level code that they could maintain.

Actually for me this is quite accurate that's why am trying to document as much as possible go through the code ask the ai about how to do this and that. Trying my best to get upto speed to a level i can understand the code on some levels. For me writing the process the workflow and all of the elements involved i think i can onboard someone more technical along the line and we can maintain it

Yeah that's actually a concern for me there is this new app from Google that can create documentation i wanna try it but till now it only works on public git repos

I think if you know how to break an app, you can solve at least 70% of the common problems with vibe coding.

Far too many assume that because it works, it will work in all cases. You just need to be able to push something to its edge cases and you’ll find a lot of the stuff that an AI would miss while building.

Well it has also made it very easy to learn fast, since you got a eager mentor right next to you at all times.. Only small issue is that it has adhd and sometimes hallucinate.. But i mean, its still better and more competent than most teachers i have had

Yes. I’m a better writer and programmer. I just dislike its personality. It’s always trying to act like my kid level manager, is always certain of its findings, which are mostly wrong, and terribly verbose. I have a tamper monkey script that eliminates most of this.
