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.

My uncle used to work in a wind tunnel lab. If things go wrong with the control system, the building will explode.
Microsoft tried very hard to get in as a preferred vendor. Finally, during a demo (inverted pendulum controlled by Windows NT), my uncle stuck a floppy disk in the controller. It stopped to read the disk and the pendulum fell over.
"That pendulum represents everyone in this room, and now they're spread from here to Gatineau. Get it?"
