I wonder if this has anything to do with the r/art mod tantrum that MoistCritical covered recently?

What’s on second.

But who’s on first?

“Look at me, Morty burp I’m Clickle Rick!”

Riskiest click of my career!

From my experience, a whole lot.

Think about how hard it is to join a new company and learn to maintain their codebase - at least in that situation you are likely going to have someone more familiar with it walk you through it.

Now understand that no such resource exists for vibe code - you’re on your own from the get go.

Quite the opposite; these are probably the most savvy opportunists making themselves available for headhunting by clueless recruiters chasing The Next Big Thing.

They will end up getting phat contract offers to tidy up the poorly implemented AI-generated code put in by some C-suite desk jockey after they fired their engine engineering team.

Tell that to my banking apps!

In terms of programming, absolutely some bloat there.

But I would wager a majority (or plurality) would actually be high(er) res media assets, embedded animations and video etc.

My personal use devices are all some variation of Pingu (eg. iPingu, Pingtendo etc.), and my NAS devices are based off Pokémon puns (Storlax and Archivysaur currently).

My wife on the other hand is boring, so her’s are just system default.

Be the change you want to see in the world! 😉

In most situations, ‘vision and concept’ just add bloat and additional clicks required to complete the same tasks as the previous, spartan/utilitarian design did.

A good example of what I’m referring to is the Metro UI of Windows 8; yes it arguably looked ‘prettier’ - but that’s largely subjective and made actually using the device worse, without 3rd party applications to restore the Windows 7 Start Menu functionality.

Sometimes, albeit not always - programmers do end up making pretty efficient UIs.
