Vibe Coding Is Coming for Engineering Jobs
wired.comCoding is just a part of engineering, I'm currently in a mental block, I would be very happy if an AI wrote the code for me, but from the look of it only change the way i would write code, instead of thinking+writing loop, it would be prompting+reading loop which is kinda worst IMO
That mirrors my thoughts pretty well.

From what I gather by watching presentations and talking to people, it's worse. You need to build up these sort of "pre-prompt" texts where you essentially create those different personas before you even start telling it, middle-manager-style, what to build - and hope for the best.
It seems like aside from rote tasks such as generating boilerplate, you can produce better code, quicker, by doing it yourself.
Another seemingly intelligent developer's brain turns to mush.
Good times, more jobs for the rest of us once the clown party is over.
