"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

I'm so glad this was your first line in the post

Oddly enough, my grasp of coding is probably the same as the guy in the middle but I still know that LLM generated code is garbage.

Think this one needs a bimodal curve with the two peaks representing the "caught up in the hype" average coder and the realistic average coder.

Yeah, there’s definitely morons out there who never bothered to even read about the theory of good code design.
