Sometimes that's because they're making it worthwhile, by connecting the thing with those who will benefit from it and explaining how to use it, which is as valuable as doing the thing.
I.e. by making sure that they're doing the right thing.
Good taste. I just vibe coded some garbage in an hour. But it is so bad I can't see how to get to good code from here and so I'll spend the rest of the week doing it by hand.
now to be fair this is my first attepmt at vibe coding and so I might not know how to prompt the ai
Depends on the tool, but the first thing to do is to use a plan mode where the AI will ask you follow up question to precise the project. This gives a much, much better result than just have the AI start to work with a few lines of prompt.
That basically turns your bad prompt into a good prompt, then execute on it.
The challenge with AI doing architecture is assembling all the relevant stakeholder context, then having the wisdom to weigh it to produce an optimal solution. The context issue is solvable, but the wisdom part is complex and nuanced, it requires a deep understanding of power structures and organizational dynamics, as well as some understanding of where the problem domain is evolving over time.
Nothing. Most software "architecture" is simply repeating the same patterns, just like writing code, just at a slightly higher level of abstraction. There's a slight moat if you are good at the business domain, and can serve as a bridge, but honestly, AI is getting pretty good at that as well.
In some cases, that’s true, but sometimes you need to update cutting rules because of law changes, or you saw different way of cutting for example. There are cases where this is not one time investment. What I agree with that cutting-it-yourself became significantly cheaper
wondering how is it going to work when they "search the web" to get the information, are they essentially going to take ad revenue away from the source website?
It really depends on what 'XYZ' is and how many hoops you need to jump through to get to the answer. ChatGPT gets information from various places and gives you the answer as well as the explanation at each step. Without tools like ChatGPT its definitely not negligible in a lot of cases.
I bet you haven't seriously communicated with others in a language that is not native to you. You'll probably end up doing similar things if you have to.
