Genuinely one of the worst things for me about the vibe coding apocalypse is that it is steadily eroding my patience in code review.

It used to be that if you identified issues with someone’s code, you could explain why, and help your coworker learn and grow as a professional. And sometimes they’d respond by explaining why they did it that way, and then you get to learn and grow as well.

Now a lot of the time when I do code review, I feel like I’m not actually investing my time in learning, just giving them something to copy paste into an AI chatbot without engaging with either the code or the feedback.

@daisy BIG SAME. It's worse when they respond back with some LLM message challenging you. - Or my favorite, we had a contractor tell me point blank they didn't use AI...

I've been trying to figure out a good way to handle this at our company. But so far it seems whatever guidelines I put in place are either fed right into their prompt or just ignored. No one seems to understand the code they're pushing off to a reviewer either.
