Gives you a good window into a vibe coder's mentality. They do not care about anything except what they want to get done. If something is in the way, they will just try to brute force it until it works, not giving a duck if they are being an inconvenience to others. They're not aware of existing guidelines/conventions/social norms and they couldn't care less.

This sounds like a case of a bias called availability heuristic. It'd be worth remembering that you often don't notice people who are polite and normal nearly as much as people who are rude and obnoxious.

I am starting to get concerned about how much “move fast break things” has basically become the average person’s mantra in the US. Or at least it feels that way.

You're about a decade+ late to the party, this isn't some movement that happened overnight, it's a slow cultural shift that been happening for quite some time already. Quality and stability used to be valued, judging by what most people and companies put out today, they seem to be focusing on quantity and "seeing what sticks" today instead.

Particularly since that mantra started around 2005 or so, which was exactly when Silicon Valley stopped creating companies that could run at a profit without a constant investor firehose.

Could it be that you're creating a stereotype in your head and getting angry about it?

People say these things against any group they dislike. It's so much that these days it feels like most of the social groups are defined by outsiders with the things they dislike about them.

Well not really, vibe coding is literally brute forcing things until it works, not caring about the details of it.

does vibe coding rhyme with eternal september?

IF anything, this is good news for Anthropic, they can now bury every open source project with useless isssues and PRs

Are these superpredator vibe coders in the room with us right now?
