Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Replacing programmers with AI coding isn’t working out so well. I’m hearing stories of consultant programmers being called in to quietly rewrite vibe code disasters that were the CEO’s personal pet project, because the code cannot be fixed in place.

"AI" removes the people who stood between the CEO and the code. It's the perfect anti-productivity tool.

They don't want to tell to the CEO face that they sucks so instead of fixing it themselves they pay an external programmer to fix it

But the manager is still not fixed, thinks he can have less people do more programming in the future.
