Negative feedback loops caused by vibe coded change sets

      I am staunchly anti-AI, but the company I am working for unfortunately pushes AI tool adoption extremely aggressively. A lot of the things in the post are similar to sentiments I have. Specifically the sections around vibe coding offloading the burden of work to the reviewer and how to mitigate that by pushing back against those sorts of PRs.

      I agree with you, though, that the post ignores the simplest solution of just not using AI tools. It may be the case that the author doesn’t have the ability to enforce that, but it should still definitely be listed as the first and most logical solution.

      I’m at the point where I’m seriously considering creating a blocklist of certain engineers at work that spam out vibe coded trash PRs and informing my manager that I will not do code reviews for anyone on the list.

          The most frustrating is when someone asks me for help because they’re stuck then hits me with a barrage of “chatgpt said xxx” complete nonsense while I’m trying to assess the situation

          That is the absolute worst. I’ve even gotten “Because Claude said so” in response to code review comments asking why they made a certain design decision.

          they let off the gas

          Man, I’m so jealous. My company is too large for me to have any sway, and they just added AI tool adoption as one of the key performance indicators on our performance reviews. 😔
