I keep seeing this claim that software has suddenly become more buggy and unreliable since the advent of agentic coding, and I'm like… have folks just not been paying attention for the last decade?

Software has been getting progressively buggier and more unreliable every year for as long as I can remember

I'm not saying AI isn't increasing the rate of garbage code, but I do wonder how you can tell the difference between vibe coded shit and regular organic shit, because it smells the same to me

@nicklockwood This is why vibe coding is a good way of development for enterprise. The software was always a mess, buggy, and nobody could understand what someone before had implemented.

So actually, GenAI is simply producing legacy code from day one. Overblown with features management so desperately wanted and technical debt developers were never allowed to reduce.
