My week starts with a request: "I need a server to deploy to production, but the devs have no idea how to do it. They don't know how to use the terminal, they don’t know how to handle certificates, nothing. They need to be able to click a few buttons and deploy directly to production. They're Vibe Coding experts."

Welcome to 2026.

@stefano I find a similar thing happening more often with my colleagues too.

I think the luck of knowing can be fine, after all I didn't know what I know now and I keep leaning new things. I find the real problem is the lack of willingness or incentives to learn new things.
And I really don't understand why people that call themselves developers would not want to learn or how to change that in them (I doubt anyone but them could really change that).

Ignoring the vibe coders aspect because well vibe coders.

@tyrthecat @stefano Yeah, not knowing something isn't really an issue, but a good dev should be able to learn how to use a tool if needed. Adaptability is part of the skillset.
