"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.

We were having pretty big problems with our yarn configurations a few weeks ago because the default npm registry is now blocked for security reasons and we're supposed to only use our own internal registry. The coworker who was supposed to fix it asked his AI whether he can override the configuration for the location for the default registry and the AI said no, so he closed the ticket as "can't do anything about it I guess 🤷". A few days later, another coworker just went and changed that configuration by looking at how custom scopes are defined and using common sense. Worked instantly, we haven't been having any yarn issues since.
