I have renewed faith in the universe. It totally makes sense that vibe coding would be poisoned into useless oblivion so early in this game.

I feel a bit icky, but whenever I see people work with such a disregard for quality, I'm actually rooting for their products to break and get hacked.

In 2015 it was copy and pasting code from stackoverflow, in 2020 it was npm install left-pad, in 2025 it's vibecoding.

I refuse to join them, and I patiently await the day of rapture.

It may already be here but in large moneyed organizations no one wants to take responsibility and speaking against management’s orders to lean in on AI may be a political suicide.

So a lot of people are quietly watching lots of ships slowly taking water.
