@dryak @knowprose @detritus @cwebber Part of the reason my team at my workplace is fairly gen-“AI”-allergic is that about 6 months ago, right as “agentic AI all the time” hype was near its peak, we were handed a pile of vibe code from a 3rd party contractor as a “start” on a major project.
The bulk of the project was a single 3k line PR that nobody fully understood (certainly not the vibe code authors) and which my team spent about a month cleaning up bad design in (for example, the original version hammered 3rd party APIs so brutally we were getting rate limited almost immediately). Even the team members who like gen-“AI” as coding assistance keep themselves fully in the loop and have refused to adopt the “all agents, all the time” antipattern.
