Boss is "vibe coding" (lemmy.world)

My boss thinks it's very cute to talk about AI as much as possible, and today asked if I'd heard of "vibe coding". I said yeah, and explained to my coworker that it's where you get a chatbot to write all your code.

My boss has just announced that he's vibe coding. I know the project he's working on. It took us months to put that codebase together, and there are a lot of very complex functions and plugins in that site that we've written to integrate with all the systems our client needs the site to use.

What am I supposed to do here? He's just letting a chatbot go rogue on the codebase. Do I just leave him to it with the full knowledge that it'll fall on me and my colleague to repair all this damage, presumably while being accused of breaking the site in the first place? I need the money from this job so unfortunately leaving isn't an option at this stage.

Unfortunately it's a small agency, so him and the big boss work in tandem. They've both hauled me into meeting already about how I need to be more positive about AI 😂

“I am positive that AI will break shit.”
