Shit ass projects have always existed and they always will. Yelling at the shit won't make it not be shit. We saw this happen with public game engines and now again with AI making coding cheap but understanding still just as expensive. Also, if you haven't played these recomps yet you should

    This is exactly why I believe yelling at vibe coders is unhelpful, and giving them pointers on how to do it right is way more effective. Why bully them when you can just make lots of them become genuinely good coders?

    Idk I get it both ways. Coding by hand is fun and you learn a lot, while also developing a mental map of your work. Vibe coding is fast and cheap, it was always going to become a staple. But you dont own that work and its really hard to maintain. We will find a middle ground, and we will tune things to where human readability is the default output. But for now, it just feels like a shitty Tron simulacra. Good enough for stupid projects like my Dark Souls board game character sheets, not really good enough for anything serious that needs to be maintained without the same amount of effort as doing it yourself.
