A sane person writes clean code because they are going to have to maintain it themselves one day a few years into the future when the baby kept them up all night for three nights in a row and coffee isn't working for them anymore and they can't remember anything about it and it's falling over so it's really urgent and f**** those guys they swore they'd get someone to take this on with a proper handover and surely there was a goddamn sent email somewhere about it but nothing is coming up when you search and goddamnit it used to compile did people ignore your comment about how it won't build with the new version yet so don't update the build tools and and and You write good code because you own it. If you get ChatGPT or Copilot or Claude or whateverthe****else to write it, you're going to have a whole lot less fun when it's on fire. The level of irresponsibility that "vibe coding" is introducing to the world is actually worse than the one that had people pouring their savings into a shitcoin. But it's the same arseholes talking it up. |

It's a broader ethos of irresponsibility and disposability that's infected so much of modern tech. Why polish up a game when you can ship it now and fix it later? Why delay an iPhone release that's "Built for Apple Intelligence (TM)" when you can sell the hype today and maybe deliver next quarter?
Everyone wants the reward but none of the work and accountability. You're not even doing the minimum level of work; you're just putting up the appearance of effort. Who cares if what you built is just a brittle husk? Vibe coding is just the natural progression of that cynical philosophy.
