   Excellent post. People always defend agentic/LLM-driven development by saying, "Well it's good enough", or "It works most of the time."

   That may be tolerable for some user-facing app. But what if we start normalizing failures in the libraries, the infrastructure, and the compilers? Everything descends into a mess of unreliability, and that slows EVERYTHING and EVERYONE down.

      Exactly. Reliable abstractions are more important than ever. They're the dues the rest of us must pay to support vibe coding.

         A new flavor of tragedy of the commons and free-rider problems.

         Everybody wants to be the ones building cheap slop, hoping somebody else makes protections and repairs...
