    Doesn’t matter if they can replace coders. If CEOs think it can, it will.

    And now, it’s good enough to look like it works so the CEO can just push the problem down the road and get an instant stock inflation

        It never actually seems to work out that way though. Sure, for Y2K there was a short period where there were decent contracts fixing that bug in various codebases, but it wasn’t something that lasted very long.

        Managers and owners would much rather pass off a terrible PoS and have their users deal with it, or somehow get the government to bail them out, or hire a bunch of Uyghur programmers from a Chinese labour camp, or figure out some other way to avoid having to pay programmers / software engineers what they’re actually worth.

        I don’t want so spend my career un-fucking vibe code.

        I want to create something fun and nice. If I wanted to clean other people’s mess, I would be a janitor.

          I’ll take your share of the slop cleanup if you don’t want it. I wouldn’t mind twice the slop cleanup extortion salary.

            Cleaning other people’s mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

            I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it’s easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say “we’ll fix it in the firmware” since I can change code 100 times a day.

            Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.

          I hope all those companies go bankrupt, people hiring those CEOs lose everything, and the CEOs never manage to find another job in their lives…

          But that’s a not bad second option.

            The CEOs will get a short term boost to profits and stock price. Theyll get a massive bonus from it. Then in a few years when shit starts blowing up, they will retire before that happens with a nice compensation package, leaving the company, employeez, and stockholders up shits creek from his short sighted plan.

            But the CEO will be just fine on his yacht, dont worry.

              C-Suite execs are probably the one thing LLMs could actually replace and save the company more money than layoffs, but it’ll never happen.

              Companies aren’t democracies. They are monarchies with the illusion of democracy via shareholders.

            Hell yeah. Those people are smart. I hope they get super rich on fixing AI nonsense.
