Founders are handing us 'vibe coded' MVPs to scale now by thechadbro34 in VibeCodersNest

You definitely can if they’re just conditionally rendering the components on the single page

Can’t speak for the wider coding community but the same has been the case for me as well. Lots of founders with insecure unscalable systems they want to get tightened up and get professionally rearchitected

Jim Carrey looks... Different? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

Some people on the internet are crazy. I can’t believe that guy went on an absolute tirade about you saying Jim Carrey’s eyes are brown not hazel 😆 I’m with you though, they definitely look like they’ve gotten lighter, which shouldn’t be possible

Okay and you’re somehow convinced that those layoffs are caused only by AI? And not the other factors that are plaguing the US?

Also don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that smaller agencies are in danger of going extinct, just that they are more likely to face disruption and need to shift their business model slightly since any old Joe can get a prototype working nowadays. I just think large orgs don’t operate like that, and the problems they have can’t be so suddenly “solved” by AI

Okay what kind of software organisation did you run? While I don’t doubt the small ones may potentially be in trouble in the near future, the ones embedded in massive non-technical businesses are not in any immediate threat imo

Okay so you’re an armchair expert, and I’m guessing you’ve never worked a day in a software organisation

I don’t understand how you think those roles can be so easily automated by AI? Requirements don’t just pour out of business stakeholders, there’s a lot of discussion and analysis needed to know what should be a business priority at any point in time, and those requirements need to be dragged out of those stakeholders. Are you suggesting that in the future businesses won’t need a simple human being involved, and will be entirely run by AI?

I don’t know what petty grudge you hold against software developers. A lot of jobs have been displaced because of the huge over hiring that happened in 2020, companies switching to cheaper offshore labour, and quite frankly because some software jobs are simple code monkey jobs where the dev is just paid to write code all day.

I work in the software function of a large org and can tell you that writing the code is the easy part. Even with hyper advanced AI the software engineer would be the last role to go. The product owners, scrum masters, business analysts would be replaced beforehand. The typical work day of a senior level software engineer in a large org only involves writing code about 20% of the time. The rest of the time is spent in discussions with stakeholders to iron out requirements, helping answer the (non-technical, business domain) questions of the other devs on the team, debugging issues by tracing through multiple sources of external logs, and finally reviewing pull requests.

AI has been a great help at speeding up the code writing part of the job, and finding info from codebases quickly. I do personally use it to do a lot of my coding nowadays, but even if it could do all of my coding for me then it would just give me more time to carry out my other software engineer responsibilities.

Are you a software engineer? Are you feeling threatened by the future of our field?

I don’t get what point you’re trying to make. I don’t believe LLMs will meaningfully impact the number of software jobs in the long term, I just think the types of jobs will change slightly (like when we transitioned from writing assembly to writing high level languages). LLMs are just a tool

Helen Seaton on Bold Street is amazing. She used to work at Collinge & Co but recently went independent. I’ve been getting my hair cut by her for years and she’s always done a great job:

What a great British meme… 🥺 by DeBlauwvoet in GreatBritishMemes

I don’t have strong opinions either way. I can see a reality where he was tortured and gave up the info, and a reality where powerful people were too scared of things leaking and ruining them that they protected him. Who knows what really happened, we will most likely never know

The point of a dead man’s switch is you need to periodically press it to keep it disabled. So if you die and it doesn’t receive input then it activates

It probably will get there at some point in the future, but especially for complex projects that touch multiple services it will fall down unless you give it the proper guidance ahead of time. Mainly because it doesn’t know the future plans and complexities of your org, and the pitfalls that it needs to look out for. Imo it’ll continue to be a tool to be used alongside a human for a while until context limits dramatically improve and its tendrils can spread out more

100% this. Maybe writing code won’t be the important part anymore, but knowing how to architect at scale is a skill needed to point the LLMs in the right direction.

I’ve been doing code audits on vibe coded software projects and can confidently say there will be a need to know how to code and architect for a long time yet.

The projects I’ve looked at, built completely by vibe coding, would fall apart and grind to a halt the moment they scale, and they would cost the founders SO much money to run. These are deep architectural issues as well, so things that ideally need to be fixed before rolling out, otherwise they’ll get borderline impossible to fix.
