alt Hacker NewsNo they wwont, they'll never be maintained. Theyll decay with their vibes. People who vibe code whole swaths of software are'nt capable of caring enough to maintain it. Llms mostly make smart people lazy and or stupid.

I used Claude to document the wire and firmware protocol for an expensive piece of equipment I own where the only software available ran on PowerPC OS X.
Is this just "vibes"? Maybe, but I now have a full, verified spec, against which to build software for myself, also with a little bit of "vibes".
Is this a good or bad thing?

Vibe coded software is currently already better than half the developers out there. Accept it. Code won't be seen anymore. It's a skill only a handful of jobs require to have.

I've had my 99% vibe coded Hazel replacement running for almost a year now. Still works.
Same with my bespoke IRC client, RSS feed hydrators and a dozen other small utilities I've vibe coded. All stuff that I've been planning for a long time, but haven't found out the time to dedicate to them.
Now I'm saving actual money every year because I could drop subscriptions applications.
Not every application needs a weekly release with new groundbreaking features. They're just one and done. Maybe an update if you hit a sharp edge while using it.
