> For agency work building disposable marketing sites
Funny, because I did some freelancing work fixing disposable vibe-coded landing pages recently. And if there's one thing we can count on is that the biggest control-freaks will always have that one extra stupid requirement that completely befuddles the AI and pushes it into making an even bigger mess, and then I'll have to come fix it.
It doesn't matter how smart the AI becomes, the problems we face with software are rarely technical. The problem is always the people creating accidental complexity and pushing it to the next person as if it was "essential".
The biggest asset of a developer is saying "no" to people. Perhaps AIs will learn that, but with competing AIs I'm pretty sure we'll always get one or the other to say yes, just like we have with people.
