They said it can write code. They never said it can fix code or debug issues.
That's like saying you can drive, bit can't navigate or park.
I have met people that dont know how to navigate with Google maps and its painful to be a passenger with them.
Driving with a nav system is a part of the driver license test here.
Where is "here"? Because it doesnt seen to be a thing in the US
Netherlands, Belgium and UK.
That guy picked me up as a rideshare driver once. He was late.
Ironically cars can park and navigate, but not drive.
I think the largest failure is bad architecture, or that is the inability to understand architecture at all. After your vibe coded project gets larger than a prototype and you "zoom out" to try and grasp what is going on, is when you see how bad it is.
Given the potential damage from it, it's more like saying it can drive while being confident the brake pedal is always the left-most one, because it'd seen it on reddit.
I had to give this a really good think because I can't remember the last time I've seen a car with a manual transmission so I was fully like
I drove a truck with four pedals in high school. Leftmost was the parking brake.
Oh yeah... actually I forgot about that configuration too. With or without a clutch
