A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, “It’s called vibe construction. I’m not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.”

    Vibe coding is dumb and this is funny but I also feel like it’s quite misleading. Plenty of software was messy and full of technical debt long before vibe coding was a thing. And organisations trying to plan software projects in the same rigid way as physical construction has historically been responsible for many of those problems.

      Problem is that now creation of this sort of sloppy software is automated and accessible to everyone.

        Meh. Joe Schmoe might make a stupid website for himself. Actual software that’s made by companies has the same responsibility they always had, they made bad software before - often so bad LLM output is better in comparison.

        The first part is new the second part isn’t. Sloppy lazy poorly understood amateur code is how everyone starts after all! And to be fair also finishes.

          I’d argue the extent of the accessibility is new, though. Yes, everyone can write sloppy code, but you had to RTFM or at least a basic guide to do so. With the whole agentic AI stuff this goes out the window as well.
