Developer Reflects on AI Coding: Generating More 'WTFs' Per Minute Than Ever
brandon_xyzw · x · 2026-08-07
A developer shared their experience of heavily using AI for coding (vibe coding) in a multi-framework codebase. Upon review, they found glaring structural issues, particularly poorly separated responsibilities in the AI-generated code.
They noted that AI often creates a significant translation loss between what it presents and what is actually needed. While asking the AI to fix the mess is an option, that's how the problem started. The key takeaway is that genuinely understanding the code yourself is far superior to blindly relying on AI.
