The absence of shovelware

Mike Judge has taken a look at some numbers that would indicate an increase in productivity, if vibe coding actually delivered on the promises of the hype:

There’s no sudden indie boom occurring post-2022/2023. You could not tell looking at these charts when AI-assisted coding became widely adopted. The core premise is flawed. Nobody is shipping more than before.

The impact on human lives is incredible. People are being fired because they’re not adopting these tools fast enough. People are sitting in jobs they don’t like because they’re afraid if they go somewhere else it’ll be worse. People are spending all this time trying to get good at prompting and feeling bad because they’re failing.

This whole thing is bullshit.
