You are in a bubble or just happen to be at a place that doesn't care about architecture or quality code. I vibe lots of code, but most of it would never make it past review without significant editing and manual guidance.
You can't blame open source projects for rejecting PRs out of hand, when they have a hundred thousand lines of garbage. Not everybody is ready for their project to completely descend into slop yet. Maybe in a couple years though.
The "problem" with FOSS projects is that they're getting submissions from people who have no idea what they're doing, not that AI per se is an issue. Like the other poster, all of the actual professionals at my F100 have been doing 100% AI coding for most of the year. Having the actual coding part automated means it's easier to improve architecture, reliability, performance, testing, etc. All the things that you always want to do but previously couldn't justify spending the time on are now doable.
I work for a fortune 500, and go to lunch with friends at AWS and google. I have not met a single person that has hand written code in the last year.
I am in a bubble yes, but a bubble further down the path you are headed down. I am sorry to say it, but coding by hand is over.
Listen, I joined this profession because I loved writing code and I was good at it. My job is less interesting now, I no longer get to solve puzzles. I am not an advocate, just a realist. Hand writing code is dead.
EDIT: Its obviously not dead yet, but the path is clear, and the progress is further than people think. If you use chrome, you use vide code, if you use windows you use vibe code. If you have touched a single part of any large software companies products, I guarantee 30+% of what was merged in the last year was written with 100% pure AI and no IDE open at all.
