Vibe Coding Will Replace Engineers: The Knowing Smirk
Description
A meme with black background and white text at the top reading '"With vibe coding you don't need software engineers."' followed by 'Me:' Below is a photo of a young woman with shoulder-length blonde hair wearing a leather jacket, looking directly at the camera with a subtle, knowing smirk that conveys amused disbelief. The expression perfectly captures a senior engineer's reaction to the claim that AI-assisted 'vibe coding' can replace professional software engineers -- a mix of amusement, condescension, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly how wrong that statement is

Every generation gets its own 'this will replace programmers' -- COBOL, Visual Basic, WordPress, no-code, and now vibe coding. My pension plan remains unshaken
Ah, 'vibe coding.' It's that agile methodology where the main deliverable of every sprint is a ticket for the next sprint titled 'Figure out what the hell we built last sprint.'

Ai still better than you Comment deleted

Hang tight while we’re working hard to replace you Comment deleted
Still hanging tight, can you hurry up please Comment deleted
hurry up. because by now. it often feels like creating even more work with hard to fix insane bugs a human being would never do. Comment deleted
All it's doing right now is eliminating juniors, because most of the time they're roughly equivalent to "creating even more work with hard to fix insane bugs an experienced human being would never do" Comment deleted
the sad part is, you can take this horrible code and educate them and get something in return you can't educate an ai and it does not care Comment deleted
weeell. even so, not really. junior has no experience to think off nonexistent framework functions — and the first time I tell him "look, use this function to solve it" he just uses the function I told him. while a Gemini pro insisted like 5 times in a row on impossible solution — and than simply apologized for being so useless.

All it's doing right now is teaching people how to manage insane juniors. Comment deleted
How to wrangle insane juniors. Usually 80% of managing juniors also involves teaching them. Comment deleted
The lack of sanity prevents teaching in this case, yeah. Comment deleted
I thought that would be a hyperbole. People put up with insane AIs, but I don't think clinically insane would be employed long, so it's somewhat of a useless skill. Comment deleted
In my 15 year career I've seen 5 people who got their diagnosis after they were fired, 2 were criminal cases. Comment deleted
sounds like HR skill issue Comment deleted
More code generated, more work to maintain it Comment deleted
no, joke, I like more the "think through" part, rather than the coding part. so please. Comment deleted
I love how cluttered this has become Comment deleted
ofc. when I ask it to hide the navigation from the user, while providing it with documentation and a suggestion on how to approach solution. and instead of writing 1 css rule it starts to hallicionate clean code with functions that never existed and, yes. it would be nice to have a separate function for every task like show_nav_admin(True) and show_nav_user(False) but a human would basically see — there are no such functions and the code throws errors instead of running — so he will try to figure it out first before presenting it to me.
