I don't get the obsession some tech people have to push the idea that this stuff accelerate your coding, increase your productivity. It's all about fast and faster output. In my experience LLMs have mostly produced gibberish oververbose code, surely faster than me, but my lower speed usually produce better code. I don't like this present state of things where we need to chat faster to quickly get out results and go fast in production... that is the kind of mentality that pushed subpar products on the web for so many years. Instead of dropping names lile vibe coding/engineering whatever comes next, let's have a serious discussion why we need faster low quality and we can't just improve automation and processes. Eg I can get unit test generated very fast sure, but my question is: why do we need all these unit tests in the first place? Dont get me wrong they're useful, but I feel like we're advancing higher abstraction instead of advancing lower level tools
