"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

No duh, says a layman who never wrote code in his life.

Oddly enough, my grasp of coding is probably the same as the guy in the middle but I still know that LLM generated code is garbage.

That's kinda wrong though. I've seen llm's write pretty good code, in some cases even doing something clever I hadn't thought of.

You should treat it as any junior though, and read the code changes and give feedback if needed.
