Training data is filled with shortcuts, conveniences, bugs, hacks, hacks that fix other hacks, hot fixes, patches, mappings that map the hack to hack to a better solution and all types of other surprises.
That's the cost of trying to scale so quickly. You dont filter out the crap.
A nice side effect is that the best way to fix it is more AI.
It's a endless money loop.
From the article: "He was also at pains to point out that the reverts were not down to 'vibe coding' in development, as the technique was not available when most of the new features were written."
I wonder when people will finally feel comfortable not putting vibe coding in scare quotes. Maybe when it accounts for 50% of all new software, instead of only 10%.
Journalists are in general slower to do this kind of thing than technologists.
The article mentioned the exact opposite.
Why read the article when you can read the headline and make up your own?
I think these type of new techniques will ultimately create more jobs for humans. If we think the answer is just “AI” everyone will create their own Postgres with a lot more bugs and vulnerabilities.
