"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.

At absolute best.

My experience is it's the bottom stack overflow answers. Making up bullshit and nonexistent commands, etc.

    If you know what you want, its automatic code completion can save you some typing in those cases where it gets it right (for repetitive or trivial code that doesn't require much thought). It's useful if you use it sparingly and can see through its bullshit.

    For junior coders, though, it could be absolute poison.
