The Reality is "Vibe Code" (Slop) is That It's Worthless
'Vibe coding' doesn't work and the man who 'invented' it does not use it. No "dogfooding". None. If you fancy breaking things, then you pretend that slop makes decent computer programs. If IBM (your employer) forces you to use slop (NVIDIA does too, an insider recently told me), then you get to pretend to be happy about it, or you just keep your mouth shut.
From the above article:
Under “Confidently Wrong” Scene:
It turns out that shipping 100 “vibe apps” is easy. Even 1000 is easyMaintaining one, just one, of them is a living nightmare.
The core problem wasn’t that the AI would make a silly mistake. The problem is that the AI is confidently wrong.
It generates code that looks perfect. It’s clean, it’s formatted, and it’s a complete and utter disaster. It even thinks that there is a library for something by hallucinating.
I always read these stories on Reddit. Most people are not complaining. They are sharing horror stories.
They were spending hours debugging AI-generated code that was “95% correct”, only to find the 5% flaw was a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire business problem.
It's basically all "legacy code", i.e. code nobody can deal with and therefore needs to be replaced (overwritten entirely). █
