My business partner sent a 5K vibe-coded PR that he didn't even test
A software developer expresses frustration after a business partner submitted a large, untested code pull request generated by AI. The author argues that over-reliance on AI tools is causing a decline in human programming skills and critical thinking.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing debate in the tech industry regarding the 'vibe-coding' phenomenon and the potential erosion of engineering standards due to AI automation.
The whole payments backend module, which I specifically told him to work together with me (I do frontend), was vibe-coded by him in one single day.
How nice, to not have to discuss with the human being who will be using your code and knows what he wants, and instead work with a sycophantic "yes man" AI right?
All 5,236 additions to the Github PR, including a documentation that is so blatant of AI redundancies (for example, saying that an error returns "400" on the API).
I understand that AI doesn't know that I know what a 400 is, but my friend should at least read that document and know better.
So here's the sad part. I understand y'all vibe-coding features and being 10x engineer and way faster than me.
It takes two minutes to run the endpoints that Don Claudio so happily added to Bruno.
