Fucking Vibe Coding

This post is secret; you can only find it via my RSS feeds (and places which syndicate them). It's okay to talk about it or link to it, though. Thanks for being part of RSS Club!

My workplace is now name-and-shaming/praising engineering teams based on a ranking of what proportion of their PRs use generative AI, with more-vibe-codey teams scoring “higher” than less-vibe-codey ones.

There are no metrics to back up the assumption that these teams are more-productive, or produce fewer regressions, or develop and maintain their skills better. It’s just supposed to be a given. When challenged, senior management falls back on “it’s used at [name of large company], so we need to use it too” arguments.

Fuck.
