The good news here is that their code is of such a poor quality it doesn't properly work anyway.

I have recently tried to blindly create a small .dylib consolidation tool in JS using Claude Code, Opus 4.5 and AskUserTool to create a detailed spec. My god how awful and broken the code was. Unusable. But it faked* working just good enough to pass someone who's got no clue.

This is just wishful thinking. In reality it works just well enough to be dangerous. Just look at the latest RCE in OpenCode. The AI it was vibe-coded with allowed any website with origin * to execute code, and the Prompt Engineer™ didn't understand the implications.

Excellent. I for one fully welcome Prompt Engineers™ into the world of software development.

I assume you don't understand some of the words in the rest of my comment. Or you're a nihilist and enjoy watching everything burn to the ground.

It's all fun and games until actual lives are at stake.

		I'm watching the voters around the world electing charismatic leaders and then cheering the consequences. Thus companies electing to replace software developers with AI slop are not of a much surprise to me. It doesn't matter whether people will die because of AI slop. What matters is keeping Microsoft shareholders happy and they are only happy when there is a growing demand for slop.
