In my company they're trying to make it so only non-dev/eng people can write code, so they can let all of us developers go. Managers already vibe-coded a replacement for our whole system in secret, and we only found out by accident. So at least Goldman Sachs is ahead of many in learning from their own idiocy.
Before you go, you should helpfully vibe port and vibe refactor the original codebase to make it forwards-compatible with the new one.
You should vibe code a backup version management system too, and give an agent control over it. Prompt it with an extensive and detailed list of all the ways it could lose the original data and tell it to be sure never to do any of them. Unless the data got corrupted somehow. How would we know if the data's corrupted? Running a suite of vibe-coded tests, of course.
Practice your shocked face for when the agent does an oopsie and accidentally overwrites the only pre-slop versions.
