Maintaining and rewriting existing shit is quite well paying though, and also something that AI seems to struggle with. (Funnily enough, AI seems to struggles even more with refactoring vibecoded projects than with refactoring human-written apps. What that says about the quality of the vibe coded code I don't know.)

Tech salaries grew because beyond rewriting and maintaining shit, even more new shit was being built from scratch.

How will the job market look like when it's all rewriting and maintaining the existing shit?
