   Just the beginning. AI is going to expose how fragile the entire computing infrastructure in our world is.

      Does this also mean the code generated and reviewed by LLMs will not have such issues going forward?

         You're going to get a wide range of responses on this but given the improvement in these models in just one year, and the number of bugs they're detecting which humans could not, I suspect that even median vibe-coded software is going to surpass median human coded software soon - if it hasn't already.

         The important thing to remember here is there perfect isn't on the table. The benchmark is existing human-introduced bugs vs LLM-introduced bugs. Many developers have encountered odd bugs which a human would not have introduced, while forgetting about all the bugs caught which humans introduced. Or their opinion is formed by models from six months ago.

            How come all the vibe coded stuff I've tried is totally bug ridden and unmaintainable then?

               Mine isn’t. To point: we don’t really have a definition of vibe-coded anymore. All software has some degree of AI enhancement now. Is vibe-coded when it’s 60%? 80% 100%?

               Try out Opus 5.5 on high. It’s shockingly good. Of course if you’re trying to one-shot a sprawling application with load balanced distributed DBs, you’re going to have a bad time. For small, defined features, it’s pretty fucking great.

                  The definition I use is shipping LLM generated code you don't understand

                  We use LLMs extensively on the projects I work in. We don't "vibe code", and we understand every commit.
