the 0x engineer became a 10x vibe-coder responsible for our CICD and vibe-coded testing that was previously manual

He's introduced several 100,000s LoC changes and additions in 10-15 codebases. There are some repos that only he works in ( so no PRs, just merge to master and be done ). He also has self-approved and merged changes without review (he's an admin)

Anyway, now he put in his notice and no one on his team knows how any of this works. We can't get code changes without CICD passing. CICD breaks all the time. The original contractor who made the CICD before him wants nothing to do with it now. We can't generate signed OTA packages.

He went from doing 'too much to finish anything' to 'made so many changes that he had to bypass PRs'.

Now he's leaving.

Engineers have been pointing out this bottleneck for the past year or so. The engineering managers aren't pushing it and the business owners either don't understand or don't care

Hah, ultimate vibe coder nightmare scenario. I wonder if, in six months time, there will be enough stories like this for sanity to prevail a little more.
