It’s amazing how many replies I’m getting that “vibe coding is fine, it doesn’t matter if software actually works”.

People literally die or get hurt all the time when websites or apps don’t work, because they get false information or they’re incorrectly flagged or they hit some edge case and stuff just doesn’t happen.

Power gets turned off. Medications don’t arrive. Accounts get frozen. Credit scores ruined. Personal information leaked.

If you don’t take making software seriously you should fuck right off and leave the field.

So apparently one of the advantages of a formal CS education is they tell you about the disasters to remind you that code quality matters.. I remember these

Theres Therac 25

Which did kill people

And the arianne 5 launch which cost 370 million 1990s dollars

@alienghic@timeloop.cafe @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io No need for a CS degree (don't have one myself) - I learned it in my first job (embedded) when I asked what the machine is going to be used for - the machine for which I was writing QA-software to test it. Feom that day on, I knew all software needs to work to rhe best of the abilities of the people involved - and the people need to be real craftspeople, who want to be proud of their craft.
