of course there’s always been terrible code. people used to and still do reinvent the wheel all the time, even without the help of a robot.
trust me i’m one of the last people to shit on LLMs unnecessarily. the tools coming out nowadays are the bees knees. i think vibe coding is fucking awesome and most people’s premonitions against it are things that, similar to the premise, have just always been true - most of the “evil” of vibe coding can be dealt with easily by being a not shit engineer in the first place.
plus, not every problem needs to be a software development problem through and through. sometimes you just need a webui or an api to browse a dataset, for example - it’s not opsec critical and you need it now. that’s okay. the moral police won’t come to your house and arrest you for vibe coding.
There was terrible code to long before LLMs, where do you think they got theirs from?
