As long as my name is in the commit log, and I wake up at night when there is a bug - I do not see embracing of vibe coding for real production environments at scale.
I do however use LLMs constantly to remove the tedious part of code authoring where the effort of reviewing the code changes is smaller than the gain of having an AI write it for me. | Yes, I use AI agents at work weekly | Not at all or minimally | Software engineering | null | AI agents have increased my productivity.;AI agents have helped me automate repetitive tasks. | AI agents have helped me solve complex problems more effectively. | AI agents have improved the quality of my code.;AI agents have accelerated my learning about new technologies or codebases. | AI agents have reduced the time spent on specific development tasks. | AI agents have improved collaboration within my team. | null | null | I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents. | Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.;It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.;The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier. | My company's IT and/or InfoSec teams have strict rules that do not allow me to use AI agent tools or platforms | null | null | null | null | null | null | ChatGPT;GitHub Copilot;Google Gemini;Perplexity | null | When I don’t trust AI’s answers;Other (please specify): | Software Architecture and understanding basic (design) patterns is still important. LLMs answer questions, but they do not ask questions well enough - our role as developers is to always keep asking, to figure out what is needed and why.
If the product manager asks an LLM to implement something - it will do so, verbatim.
Will it be exactly what the PM asked for? Yes
Will it be what the PM really needs? My feeling is, that the answer is mostly no.
Using Loveable/Base44 to build your kid a website for their homework is one thing, but building a production grade system that spans multiple geo sites, dozens of services and infrastructures, handles millions of events per second - that still requires a human in the middle - and those skills are what I think we should continue to invest in.
There is an old quote - I do not know who said it:
"To Err is Human; To Really Foul Things Up Requires a Computer"
Take AI agents - and give them enough permissions - and with their current capabilities, all hell will break loose.

What happens when they can do all the above? I honestly don't know - I'll probably have to switch careers ...
