"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.

Then there’s the issue of finding an agreed-upon way of tracking productivity gains, a glaring omission given the billions of dollars being invested in AI.

To Bain & Company, companies will need to fully commit themselves to realize the gains they’ve been promised.

"Fully commit" to see the light? That.... sounds more like a kind of religion, not like critical or even rational thinking.

In other news, water is wet.

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, they say that you can't make bricks with water, therefore water is useless shit.

[–] lemjukes@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

also, water isn't wet.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It depends on the sense of wet that you're using. Most of the time, the relevant kind of wet is how much water something contains, and water achieves peak theoretical wetness by that definition. It's only in specific circumstances that the surface is coated evenly by a wetting agent definition is relevant, like painting or firefighting.

He knows that. It is just an old stupid "pedantic" joke that still refuses to die despite its patheticness.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I know people who say exactly this kind of thing entirely seriously (potentially because they first saw it as an unlabelled joke that they took too seriously). Sometimes people are just incorrect pedants smugly picking fault with things that aren't even wrong.
