Recently in that exact situation. Junior dev vibe codes some slop to solve a problem that was barely a problem. The "solution" to that not-a-problem was 2500 lines of slop. Unused variables, spaghetti logic, unit tests that were clearly write-once, read-never. The slop at that point is the meta-problem, the real problem becomes me trying to convince (through multiple rounds of code review) that this was not maintainable code, and not a tenable development model. All those rounds of review take TIME and mental effort. At some point, when the code review takes more effort than the code owner contributed, the value proposition is shot. Generate the code however you want (llm, bit twiddling, whatever), but the effort and care must be there. If you can't use an llm skillfully and vouch for the output, it's gonna be a no from me dawg |
