Replacing programmers with AI coding isn’t working out so well. I’m hearing stories of consultant programmers being called in to quietly rewrite vibe code disasters that were the CEO’s personal pet project, because the code cannot be fixed in place.

"AI" removes the people who stood between the CEO and the code. It's the perfect anti-productivity tool.
