"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.

Perhaps it should read "All AI is over hyped, over done and we should be over it"

Sounds exactly like my experience with Vibe Coding.

i use it for programming arduinos for my smarthome. its pretty nice but also aggravating.

Writing apps with AI seems pretty cooked. But I've had some great successes using GitHub copilot for some annoying scripting work.

I think it's useful for writing mundane snippets I've written a million times or helping me with languages I'm less familiar with, but anything more compex becomes pretty spaghetti pretty quick.

AI is works well for mindless tasks. Data formatting, rough drafts, etc.

Once a task requires context and abstract thinking, AI can't handle it.

Eh, I don't know. As long as you can break it down into smaller sub-tasks, AI can do some complex stuff. Just have to figure out where the line is. I've nudged it along into reading multiple LENGTHY API documentation pages and written some fairly complex scripting logic.
