"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.

Replacing the missing bits with AI is better than not having them at all.

Nah, bullshit tests that pretend to be tests but are essentially "if true == true then pass" is significantly worse than no test at all.

Sure. But, unsupervised developers who: write the code, write their own tests, change companies every 18 months, are even more likely to pull BS like that than AI is.

You can actually get some test validity oversight out of AI review of the requirements and tests, not perfect, but better than self-supervised new hires.
