Was going to say the same. In fact we're seeing a huge wave of hacks caused by old human coded systems getting owned by "vibe" attackers.

Vibe coding is such an overused term now. Stats say what, 80% of programmers use AI to generate code? 90%? So everything is vibe coded. If you do well, no, it's still engineering. Someone makes a mistake? Cuts a corner somewhere? Vibe coded.

>So everything is vibe coded.

Given the sentiment that software is getting worse, buggier, and overall less stable, that isn't a comforting statement.

I am extremely skeptical that those numbers are even close to accurate.
