Vibing or not vibing

Finally I understand it. Managers and Executives like the use of LLMs tools in all their flavours because of that old statement: "more lines of code is equal more work done". A tool like that could give you thousands of lines of code and everyone but yours engineers will be happy. What happened to less is more in our industry?

Nowdays more and more Software Developers and Engineer are been forced to use code editors and plugins, bots and integrations between code editors and management tools.

The only people I have seen that are not in that position are Open Source maintainers and freelancers or small business owners.

But like in the debate about Returning to Office we could see the invisible hand of VCs and Angels that have been investing tons of money and if you don't use those things (building offices or AI/LLM tools) then they lose money.

This is not a trend. It's a disruption that would save money for the investors but cause more work to the Software Engineers because after all, vibe code is legacy code

And when the time comes, because it will come, are you going to vibe?
