I am struggling to be kind when tech folks are speaking positively of vibe coding something and planning to put it into production but neither they nor any of the people expected to support it know anything about how the code is structured or works.

As I keep trying to gently point out: successful, useful software spends most of its time being maintained. Maintaining something you don't understand is really hard to do well.

I fail to see how yolocoding is an improvement over the already pretty dire state of modern software stacks.

@daedalus It makes a lot more sense once you realize that a lot of software developers mainly value the "making a thing and being able to say you made it" part and not really the "solving someone else's problem" part.

It's like someone making a crappy table in their garage, which would be fine except now the crappy table is mandatorily deployed to every home at scale.

There's no intent to maintain or fix anything to begin with.
