This is unique only to the Software field. Manufacturing of physical goods learned long ago there is no cheating physics, as much as the executive's and finance people wish that were the case.
I didn't say all, and I knew someone would chime up, good job. If you want a healthier view of companies with their QA groups, Food Safety, and medical devices are two where I've at least seen signs the culture is still active and healthy.
Nothing gives programmer bigger sense of future job security than trying vibe-coding with a "frontierest" model and looking at the code. Especially once it starts changing existing code. Ah. And the fake tests. And those grandiose coments. Oh. It is quite marvellous.
I just wonder if companies will just instantly fold and sink once their internal slop pressure causes hull breach, or will they call slopbusters.
This event will please many programmers who are currently afraid of being left without a job, showing them that they are not in danger.
so cope?
Cope? How so?
Yep. Companies will soon find out that their savings in dev time has an increase in BA and testing.
Most companies have done away with QA. They are having their cake and eating it too.

Did they though? Boeing.

There will be developers but less senior/principle engineers. Again, this is just them using AI to justify the downward pressure of labor wages.

Waiting for a time when even AI can't help with the tech debt and slop code
The “AI isn’t as much of a threat as you think” articles that were very clearly written by AI feel extremely dystopian.
