Is a "vibe code cleanup" career a thing? (lemmy.ml)

Some friends of mine are saying that this might be the next big thing on IT. As someone who still thinks of starting a new career in this field (just got my associate level certificate in system analysis after a long time being a journalist who works in PR), especially considering that my company is becoming a bottomless pit, should I start building my stack on this before things get really sour at my current job?

Maybe, but imo it will be a short-lived niche until people learn to use AI properly.

When I use AI for coding I try to catch its mistakes as I go along. I rarely use the agent mode and just let it loose. I've done that as an experiment a couple of times, with hilariously bad results each time.

People will adapt and learn when you need to babysit the AI and the problem will eventually diminish.

Just my take.
