> Six months later, an architectural change required modifying those features. No one on the team could explain why certain components existed or how they interacted.

I thought when you vibe it, you're supposed to keep doing that forever.

If you need an explanation, ask the clanker.

And when the clanker can't understand its own code?

This all sounds like the classic path I've seen low quality coders take, coding themselves into a corner until changes effectively become impossible.

For real people, that's when the coder finds a new job, often a promotion off the back of their dreadful architectural decisions, or if it's an agency, abandons the client.

I wonder if it will follow the same failure states, has anyone caught it making multiple versions of the same function yet? With slightly different bugs in them?
