As a developer with 25+ years of hands on emterprise experience I am in awe of the projects coming out as “production ready code”. I have some legit cool stuff out there, so no offense to those doing the same, but man so so many days I come onto Reddit and I see the 100th or potentially 1000th version of something built and is production ready. There is someone in Anthropic that silently loves coming onto this channel to see their ML trickery show up in the 1000’s of folks building what the model is telling them is a “gap”. The real, honest, answer is they are gaps. However to solve them isn’t vibing it takes money and engineering. AI slings code but it doesn’t engineer, and there in lies the gap and tension. I am not here to judge quality. But I can almost guarantee, without even looking, it isn’t production ready code. Is it good? I think the codex is printing good code, sure, but man the stuff I see in my dev env daily can be absolute junk without a watchful eye. So I pose the question, is this slop making true software engineers less or more valuable? My belief: I think it truly sucks and at the same time is wonderfully fun. I kind of like it all but you can’t throw a rock without hitting a “dev, vibe coder, etc” trying to hit it big with their ai tech. The models are gaming everyone, wonderful marketing, keep pumping in those quarters into the machine l, I mean tokens…Many of these products likely would have never been viable without Claude. I feel for them, I am one of them now, somehow lumped in categorically, it sucks. submitted by /u/Successful-Seesaw525
