Commenters express a profound sense of dread regarding the current state of software engineering, fearing that consumer products are already in decline and will only deteriorate further under the influence of AI-driven "vibe coding." They argue that instead of simplifying technology, these tools entrench past mistakes and sacrifice foundational values like determinism and stability for a cycle of endless, buggy overproduction. This shift is viewed as a reckless fad that prioritizes reckless speed over dependability, leading many to anticipate an inevitable industry "hangover" marked by broken systems and regressive updates.
