I use AI every day.

And I am absolutely sick of having to justify my job against people who feel they can now vibecode an application without understanding the code.

Kinda like how someone thinks they can build a house without understanding the different layers.

And it's made worse that the way these applications are now built: from the outside, with zero regards towards how it's actually put together.

I understand that execution speed matters over elegance of code. I'm not looking for elegance. I'm looking for code that is clear, well abstracted, well reasoned, so that it not only serves the business purpose, but is also technically sound, non-DRY, with clear indicators of where YAGNI was invoked etc.

I'm genuinely tired of having to defend my job. And the world is using the AI revolution to get rid of so many people. When you call 911 in my city you now talk to AI. You call the local dealer, you get AI.

So AI is presented as this 10x modifier, but I'm not working 1/10, I'm working the same if not harder to verify my PM's slop, because it's me who gets paged at 2PM, not my PM.

I'm tired boss.
