AWS has suffered at least two incidents linked to the use of AI coding assistants.
Is your vibe-coded app a Crapject or a Gift?
You're absolutely right!
Agents write units of changes that look good in isolation. They are consistent with themselves and your prompt. But respect for the whole, there is not.
We're not in a February 2020 moment, and ordinary people will be fine
As software development shifts from requiring specialized skills—built on multiple layers of technical understanding—to describing intent in plain English (or your language of choice), the act of producing software appears to become accessible to a much wider audience. The people best positioned to excel may not be well versed in software at all, but rather those who are good at expressing ideas clearly, thinking iteratively, and breaking problems down.
Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.
A friend of mine recently attended an open forum panel about how engineering orgs can better support their engineers. The themes that came up were not surprising:
A reflective essay exploring how classic LLM failure modes---limited context, overgeneration, poor generalization, and hallucination---are increasingly recognizable in everyday human conversation.
"I've never felt this much behind as a programmer." That's Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder and one of the most respected AI researchers alive, writing in December 2025
Principal software engineer with deep expertise in full-stack TypeScript, headless and kiosk browsers, and real-time media-centric systems.
I was recently recommended a YouTube video with the following title: <pre style=" display: block; font-family: monospace; font-size: 4px; l...
It's probably fine--unless you care about self-improvement or taking pride in your work.
I’ve been in the mobile development industry for almost 15 years, and this AI/LLM era might be the worst. My work are mostly freelance, gigs, hourly, mile...
On January 6th, 1995 two bank robbers in Pittsburgh confused law enforcement by not making any attempts to conceal their faces but instead brazenly looking at security cameras as if they were invisible. The reason is that they actually thought they were.
AI didn’t take my job, it took my authority. From losing an argument to my wife to debating clients armed with AI-generated flowcharts, I’m left wondering: do I still want to be a programmer, or just someone explaining why the confident answer isn’t always the right one?
The Words of Ed Zitron, a PR person and writer.
Big part of discussion around vibe coding revolves around pace of development while it was never a key constraint in succeeding with a product.
