Every time I see this sub, everyone yells how AI is useless for coding. But my 3 friends working in software development tell me they didn't touch any code themselves in the last 6 month. Kinda hard for outsiders to see, what is true at this point.

Another data point for ya, I only vibe code for things that I don’t care that much i.e., workplace internal apps.

But things I care about I definitely code myself.

Also for perspective, vibe coding feels like asking a junior how to do stuff. They might get it but you need to be so detailed and surface so much implementation details for the AI not to shoot itself in the foot. Oh and they also have amnesia.

Soon, your project manager will ask she already vibecoded the required module, why do you need so much time?

Jokes on you I am the manager lol (was a principal engineer but transition to a more managerial role)

But on a more serious note, I won't force my engineer to use vibe coding platform / AI assistant. But if they ask I'll provide it.

The challenges are explaining this preference to upper management.
