And then it'll all go to shit and proper programmers will be able to charge bank to sort it out.

I hope it works like that.

I hope all those companies go bankrupt, people hiring those CEOs lose everything, and the CEOs never manage to find another job in their lives...

But that's a not bad second option.

The CEOs will get a short term boost to profits and stock price. Theyll get a massive bonus from it. Then in a few years when shit starts blowing up, they will retire before that happens with a nice compensation package, leaving the company, employeez, and stockholders up shits creek from his short sighted plan.

But the CEO will be just fine on his yacht, dont worry.

It already does, there are people selling their services to unfuck projects that were built with generated code.

I don't want so spend my career un-fucking vibe code.

I want to create something fun and nice. If I wanted to clean other people's mess, I would be a janitor.

I'll take your share of the slop cleanup if you don't want it. I wouldn't mind twice the slop cleanup ~~extortion~~ salary.

Cleaning other people's mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it's easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say "we'll fix it in the firmware" since I can change code 100 times a day.

Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.
