AI will make software better

I propose looking 5 minutes at LinkedIn to figure out why.
“Code is a commodity”
“I just used 1.3 million dollars worth of tokens in a single month”
“People are saying i have to be a software engineer, but they are wrong, look at this vibe slopped thing i wrote which is totally not garbage”
AI engineering can be done really well, it can lead to amazing outcomes and really help in creating something remarkable. The problem is that people are not doing proper ai engineering, they are doing vibe slopping. Instead of improving how they work, they are trying to not do the work in the first place.

Because large software is just like this. Unless it’s the life work of one, maybe two people.
Let’s be honest, we even sometimes write shitty things knowing there’s a better way to do, on things we care. Let alone things I knew I would never touch again.
