I’m fully talking out of my ass here, but I feel like a quick “five whys” exercise at any given company would reveal that the real issue is neither engineers nor code, but rather something systemic.

I’d like to see a project set up a dedicated branch for bot PRs with a fully automated review/test/build pipeline. Let the project diverge and see where the slop branch ends up compared to the main, human-driven branch after a year or two.

Follow-up question: why do AI companies so often have buttholes for logos?
I guess despite how intimidating it seems, un-fucking vibe code can be approached just like every other complex programming problem: by breaking it down into smaller problems and solving them incrementally.

It sounds to me like you have two viable options:
-
Accept that your role at the company is now “prompt ‘engineer’” and do your best to optimise your workflow for quick turnaround, since the business is prioritising speed. If you want to do programming, start a personal project.
Optionally, you can think about how to frame the issues with code quality in terms of financial risk to leadership–but be prepared for them to continue not giving a shit (and maybe start viewing you as “not a team player”).

This may help explain why some devs I talk to think LLM code assistants are amazing, while others find them only situationally useful at best.
I have no C# experience and both styles look fine to me. /shrug
WTAF. I was sceptical, but I’ve been using this all week and haven’t once had the issue in the OP. Whereas previously I had to log in 2-3 times back to back every morning.
Any idea why this works?

Is it the attacks themselves that have become a daily occurrence, or the detection thereof?
