  • Vibe coding has its place (prototypes, simple webui), and use of ai for debugging, adding simple features can be effective. Even for more complex stuff it’s getting better all the time; but one needs to keep an eye on what it’s doing and refactor when things go off the rails (and ai can be a good tool for refactoring).
    But ai messages that just make it look like someone is contributing are infuriating. I’ve responded by booking a meeting with the person who pasted ai slop to review the message because ‘I want you to go over that and explain it to us’. And then when they try and start going over irrelevant crap I ask why it’s relevant. And when they respond that actually it’s from chatgpt and they don’t know, if they don’t immediately indicate how they realize now it was useless to paste stuff like that, I make sure they know my opinion (in a nice way). I haven’t had the same person do it twice.
