Do Google engineers actually vibe code?

In the Good Old Days we didn't call ourselves "vibe coders", we called ourselves "systems analysts". And we didn't get AI to do the coding, we got programmers to do it.

Support local artisinal code

Are you telling me Google also codes its own sparkling water?

we peaked at tab complete

Has anyone heard what happened to Boeing when they stopped having the engineers run the company? That turned out fine, right?

Eventually, we will have to pay the price for "moving fast".

Ah, so google's internal inertia and the tools frankly sucking is why google services are still largely working whilst everything else on the internet is burning

Now I want to get into fleebleflorp coding.

2024: Over 25% of code was written by AI Before: Over 25% of code was copy/pasted from StackOverflow.

So you're the reason why bilingual people cannot switch off auto translated titles for _all_ of their languages?

vibe code == sad code

so the summary is that it's a show-down between people who want to move fast and break things vs people who want to build things that don't break? I see the song remains the same: *Fast, cheap, or right. Pick two.*

The whole video was me saying "yep, yep yep" and then the ending was grim and I was like "oh no, even Google"

12:02 absolutely wild to me that there's a debate about whether a professional engineer should be able to read and understand the code they're pushing to prod...but here we are

When presented with a solution. Doesn't matter how bad it is, people more than likely just accept it. The lack of quality soon catches up.

11:51 this attitude is probably the reason why the YouTube app became a buggy mess recently 🙁

Vibe code == unchecked tech debt +1

Nooooo don't leak fleebleflorp! We'll lose our competitive edge!

we call it slopping

An engineering culture of wanting the code to work does slow things down! 😆
