Yeah, I think the more your job demands correctness in novel scenarios the less impressed you are with these shiny demos. I encourage anyone to pause the demo once the thing is generated and stare at what it did. Is it genuinely correct and impressive? Are you impressed because it made a thing generally shaped like what you expected, or because it would be genuinely impressive (or even adequate) if a person did it?




you are right, but the inverse doesn't have to be. There is a factor that could make the work so cheap, that people don't care about the quality anymore.

The only way that state would be sustainable is if we suddenly solved code vulnerabilities, or the damage they cause.

Most companies have more than enough of those, and these problems are already solved every day. In the end everything is vulnerable and the internet is dangerous, a vibe coder is no more dangerous than an average junior software engineer.
