Vibe coding anything more complicated than the most trivial example toy app creates a mountain of security vulnerabilities. Every company that fires human software developers and actually deploys applications entirely written by AI will have their systems hacked immediately. They will either close up shop, hire more software security experts than the number of developers they fired just to keep up with the garbage AI-generated code, or try to hire all of the software developers back.
It staggers me that "vibe coding" is even a term. I wonder if the people behind that sort of thing would take the same attitude to, say, bridge design. "Oh yeah, move that support over there. It'll be fine, haha. Here, have a beer while you're at it!"
If a company fired and tried to rehire me, it'd be the perfect opportunity to negotiate. Imagine asking for a 20% raise and all of the unvested stock they robbed you of in addition to a stock bonus.
And yeah, I'd ask for that.
You should ask for 30% at least, fuck these clowns.
should be 200% plus benefits, or more. they already put in a traumatic firing situations, whats to stop them from firing immediately after you fixed thier problem.
20% would definitely be justified for having to take care of bad quality spaghetti code that is the result of vibe coding.
