alt Hacker NewsYeah because vibe coding has only really worked for 3 months. Give it a chance!
It'll probably be a couple of years before most companies even realise it's an option.

I know of a brake parts factory outside dayton ohio who had the Microsoft folks come through with promises well over a year ago now. They've already overspent and had to pull back their AI budgets when it made more work than it solved.

The problem with this argument is that people have been saying "it just recently got good" for about two years now.
Vibe coding still doesn't work today.
Seven years ago (*!!SEVEN!!*) GPT was too dangerous to release and yet everything that AI has touched since then is WORSE now than it was then. "Three months" is entirely nonsense. Seven years. Seven. S. E. V. E. N. Y. E. A. R. S.
If you moved the goal posts any farther, they'd have traveled around the world and would be sitting at your back right now.
Vibe coding as in "Make me a postgres" is poor but if you think it hasn't affected CRUD feature work you would be wrong.
Most developers don't work building low level high performance scalable systems for a large tech firms, they are making CRUD back-ends for phone apps.
This section of the industry is definitely contracting. Even more obvious is the dev tooling part of it. Dev tooling companies are disappearing or being "bought" all over the place because what might have been a product before is now an hour or two with someone with CC.
