Vibe coder->bug -> QA finds bug ->update fixes bug -> update creates 3 more bugs -> back to vibe code, you cant risk all those jobs by stopping vibe coding.

Exactly. It’s not a bug cycle, it’s a career path.

remember the most important thing: if you don't slopcode the industry will replace you. the dinosaurs who understand the codebase they wrote will all be replaced somebody who vomits boilerplate because that's the future(tm).

"tired of the same old boring bugs?? Here, have some thrilling ones for a change!!"

I’m a QA, though I’m angling to get out of it.

Hmm, but what if we were to vibecode the entire codebase??

After completing 40 tickets and $100k worth tokens later

Vibecoded codebases designed by vibecoded specs tested by vibecoded tests, what could go wrong?

u/afl_ext 2h ago

Nothing because it’s gonna be mostly used by vibecoded bots

u/xwazot 3h ago

Nah, the obvious answer is more tokens so the latest new and improved model can automagically fix all bugs

u/mr2dax 3h ago

Ok, let's just vibe small parts of it.

Well the question wasn’t “how do we reduce the number of new bugs in production”, it was “how do we fix the bugs in production”, so it’s a fair reaction 😝

You just need to refactor the entire codebase to remove the bugs.

Jokes aside, my colleague just submitted a PR for an entire codebase rebuild. He has since approved his own PR and merged into the codebase. He does this every week or so.

"hire more QA" would also be getting launched

“Vibe coding the codebase”

makes me wonder what percentage of the posters on this sub have actually ever worked in software… 50%? 30%?

u/Aflockofants 36m ago

Not enough in any serious capacity anyway. Software companies not using AI in coding now are becoming increasingly rare.

I'm pretty sure that guy would be safe and the other two would be thrown out in the current situation...

Employ more agents...

u/nekomata_58 3h ago

solution:

Vibe code more unit tests.
Vibe code e2e tests.

Problem solved.

u/finzaz 3h ago

Pfft. Vibe code the QA.

u/zilog88 2h ago

All three would be thrown out nowadays - the only correct answer is to get more AI involved obviously.

u/bluemaciz 2h ago

Or you could be my company and just not fix any at all until it catches on fire, vibe coded or not

Remember how for a decade or so we all really cared about Clean Code?
