I'm a game design student. One of my classmates is vibe coding literally everything. Entire monitor dedicated to just asking AI for stuff. Every day it is "I made this thing!" Followed by hours of them blindly fucking with it to try and get the AI to fix it. They're learning almost nothing but occasionally something cool looking pops out and they start bragging about it. They're going to be so fucked the moment anything is bigger than a single system misbehaving in a contained way they won't have even learned the words necessary to start researching the issue

Yeah, like I use AI for debugging but my coworker that left for an AI company was fully doing that and we ended up archiving his MR after he left because it was full of issues down to simple hard coded site values.

Good to see that he is actively removing his virtual genes from the developer gene pool by castrating his growth.
