Re:A year after the 100% AI mandate nobody understands our code by rznicolet on Monday November 09, 2026 @07:58PM (#50434689)
I sympathize with this, and the company I work for is far less than a year into our mandate. I've recently gained ownership of a project built by a colleague who just left, and... it's horrifying. 100% vibe-coded -- said colleague admitted as much, that he hadn't written code himself for months, and that I should just "ask Claude" if I want to do anything with the project. It's an architectural mess (you do not want to know) and has already thrown up one stupid breaking bug that's causing me a lot of heartburn and extra work.

And now the company is all-in.

Even if the mandate does get reined in, I don't think I'll last that long. I'm honestly not sure what to do, beyond prepare to change careers entirely.

Thankfully, Claude is pretty good at refactoring and bug sweeping. :) You have to keep at it for a while, but eventually, sanity will prevail.
