Previously, the limit on bad code entering any serious product was gated by having devs that at least knew how to change what they copied from SO.

Seriously, that was the lowest level of skill I saw in 30 years of development.

Now we have people who can't even do that proudly showing off PRs to widely used products.

"B-b-but I do the systems design and hard thinking".

Sure, buddy.

At least once a week I have to drop what I'm doing and race in to stop the non dev manager from merging a fully vibe coded patch which will blow up production. Claude Code has made this guy a negative 10x developer.

    Just let him take down prod on a friday night once and leave him to deal with the PagerDuty alerts solo. Cures the urge to vibe-code infrastructure real fast

      People like that are usually pretty good at deflecting onto other people. Likely you will end up being blamed in some way.

    how does this non dev manager have perms to do this

    • Gigachad  5 days ago

      They don't have permissions but if I don't rush to block the PR with a bunch of review comments, one of the other AI brained devs will just hit approve on it without reading or understanding anything.

      Yes it is hell here. But it's a new kind of problem that just showed up.
