A high price to pay, no?
Weeks ago: 'Vibe Coding' Doesn't Work
'Vibe Coding' is a scam and a lie. A person I know, who works for a circular financing company, said the company was mandating slop. Workers were forced to use slop for code and he generally found the work very stressful compared to prior jobs (other companies).
He told me, to my face, that the slop was indeed fast to produce, but really understanding the darn thing or properly testing it would mean no time gets saved. It's just a risk and a liability.
This is why the circular financing company is bound to collapse.
A regular reader of ours has sent me "Something Ominous Is Happening in the AI Economy" (new from The Atlantic) and, to quote: "The last time so much wealth was tied up in such obscure overlapping arrangements was just before the 2008 financial crisis." So this Techrights reader knows where this is all going. █
