Vibe coding, where everyone is a middle management tool

So many today

At this point we're babysittin machines. Machines that need constant reassurance and monitoring otherwise they go crazy. That's what ai feels like, leaving a computer alone with the ai program interfaces is like that. And they can go haywire even with full human control. Some days they just make stuff up.

I just let the Ai write all my code and spend all my time looking for the bugs it creates.

Its not so fulfilling mentally since I dont think anymore, but sure, goes fast and lots of code is produced.

Also its the new normal now and I think humans can only be faster if they know the domain very well already.

Most of us are working with apis we dont know every method of by heart, so its quite slow to write code manually, even if its correct.

Which means this entire profession will be about fixing Ai bugs by telling it whats wrong and let it retry until it works.

But hear me out - shouldn't we finally get mobile OS alternatives? Since it's gotten that much easier to write
