A very well-known Korean company used to outsource software development.

But they gathered employees who had been working as PMs at that company and developed a product using only prompts. It turned into a project where fixing one bug created ten more, and nobody could understand why the bugs were being generated.

Management framed it as "the beginning of in-house development and the end of outsourcing," but the employees who actually contact me about work say things are going badly.

In fact, there have been several incidents in Korea related to vibe coding.

So I don't think coding is a solved problem.

Even when I code with AI, it's not really my code, so fixing bugs is hard... I don't think coding is a solved problem.

Even though I’m all in on using coding agents in my personal projects, I’m so glad I’m not working in a corporate job right now.
