In order to replace programmers with vibe coding, stakeholders would need to be able to describe their requirements accurately.
And then they'd need to be able to verify that the code actually meets these requirements. That might even necessitate specifying these requirements in some sort of a formal language...
No! They don't want a formalised language. They'd much rather explain and re-explain in English, then repeatedly correct the mistakes the clanker inevitably makes. And spend at least the same amount of time as a skilled programmer would.
But I get why managers think that skilled labour can easily be replaced with LLMs. Their jobs of writing emails and occasionally creating presentations, that may or may not match information they received from more skilled personnel, can absolutely be done by an LLM.
that's the joke :)
and they were adding to it :)
or they just don't care, consumers have been putting up with broken products for years already, it wouldn't hurt to break it more.
