What I find missing in the vibe coding discussions is precisely what we can't know, which is how this will work out over time in practice. A couple concerning data points I gleaned recently (sorry no references): - the LOC per PR is going up. - the number of bugs per LOC is going up.

I wonder whether 'enshittification' will hit the installed software base hard in the future and the software engineers tasked to fix it will not have been brought through the rigors of designing and implementing complex systems on their own, without LLMs.

This doesn't address the degradation that may happen when LLMs are increasingly trained on LLM output.

BTW I used to work in AI and I don't think scaling is a solution here.
