"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.

it's slowing you down. The solution to that is to use it in even more places!

Wtf was up with that conclusion?

    I don't think it's meant to be a conclusion. The article serves as a recap of several reports and studies about the effectivity of LLMs with coding, and the final quote from Bain & Company was a counterpoint to the previous ones asserting that productivity gains are minimal at best, but also that measuring productivity is a grey area.
