I clean up vibe code as a senior engineer consultant, it's quite lucrative actually. I specifically offer this service because I know how to do it.

This could be a superinteresting field in the future, I guess?

But how do you land contracts? Nobody will post on LinkedIn like "Hiring consultant to cleanup or AI-mess-codebase"? :-D So, nobody will admit that they are in trouble already,so how do you find out?

I've been thinking of jumping into this sooner rather than later because I see this becoming a Thing eventually. Are you enjoying it?

[satvikpendem]

It's fine, I suppose. It's like a puzzle, and you really need to be comfortable with banging your head against a wall trying to make work what is essentially immediately created legacy code by the LLM.

Works it (edit sp: Would it) help if the coders' prompts were available (checked in)?

If code is your documentation I assume it is hard to divine intent?

[satvikpendem]

Prompts wouldn't really help, no. You'll have a high level description based on what you're being hired for then the code tells the story.
