Because the vibe coded stuff is sometimes great, sometimes it breaks stuff, sometimes it breaks things that we fixed multiple times earlier. The PRs are too large, nobody can review that mess and you better be on call for your deployment. Maybe it will get better, maybe not. I dont know yet.
The massive PRs is something that probably has to end. You can ai generate smaller changes in reviewable PR sizes. It probably even helps the AI code review tools to break the work in to smaller logical chunks too.
Yes you can, and this is still the most realistic use of AI llms, but this is a 2x multiplier, not 10x or 20x
What about that means AI coding is a fad?
Oh, it won't get any better. LLMs already trained on every bit of code ever published, they won't get any more material.
They can be reinforced with best practices and context windows etc will increase.
If anything the snake is eating it’s own tail because now it’s training on vast amounts of its new slop…dragging down the average bar of quality.
