"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

So much of the AI hype has been pointing to ten year old technology repackaged in a slick new interface.

AI is the iPod to the Zune of yesteryear.

    I mean... I like to think we've done a bit more than that. FFS, file compression alone has made leaps and bounds since the 3.25" floppy days.

    Also, as a T-SQL guy, I gotta say there's a world of difference between SQL 2008 and SQL 2022.

    But I'll spot you that a lot of the last 10-15 years has produced herculean efforts in answering the question "How can we squeeze a few more ads into your GUI?"
