Vibecoding at Five: Critics Declare It Failed While Adopt 'Tell the AI to Fix My Linux' Skyrockets
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-27
A debate on vibecoding's five-year track record. @contrasortem says it's time to admit vibecoding failed — professional vibecoding has mostly been a "make everything worse" button, and he's seen more Linux kernel panics in 2026 than a decade ago. teortaxesTex counters that 2026 is the first year he can tell a clanker "Linux is being weird around Bluetooth, I can't be bothered, fix it" and expect rapid help, with adoption skyrocketing. He also admits discomfort that his mutuals would hate him 'for tribal reasons.'
