Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch

In my opinion this is an indication that the software tools for those ecosystems need improvement, but rather than putting in the design effort to improve the tools in the ecosystem, these Big Data companies see an opportunity to just throw LLMs at it and call it a commercial product.

They have. The problem is that they generally cause as many problems as they solve. Adding another layer in software is often as harmful as it is helpful.
LLMs are nice in this regard, because they don’t really add another layer, but they do take care of the excessive boilerplate that’s easily understandable.
