Amateurs Using AI to “Vibe Code” Are Now Begging Real Programmers to Fix Their Botched Software

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-28 00:49:20

Welcome to the future, where the vibes are bad in almost every meaningful respect — but where you do, at the very least, get to "vibe code," or use an AI model to write code and even build entire pieces of software. But rarely does the process go smoothly enough for prime time. The jury's still out on whether experienced programmers actually benefit from using AI coding assistants, and the tech's shortcomings are even more obvious when it's being relied on by untrained amateurs who openly embra

OpenAI upgrades Codex with a new version of GPT-5

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-09-30 17:03:40

OpenAI announced Monday that it’s releasing a new version of GPT-5 to its AI coding agent, Codex. The company says its new model, called GPT-5-Codex, spends its “thinking” time more dynamically than previous models, and could spend anywhere from a few seconds to seven hours on a coding task. As a result, it performs better on agentic coding benchmarks. The new model is now rolling out in Codex products — which can be accessed via a terminal, IDE, GitHub, or ChatGPT — to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, B

Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2025-10-01 16:00:00

Carla Rover once spent 30 minutes sobbing after having to restart a project she vibe coded. Rover has been in the industry for 15 years, mainly working as a web developer. She’s now building a startup, alongside her son, that creates custom machine learning models for marketplaces. She called vibe coding a beautiful, endless cocktail napkin on which one can perpetually sketch ideas. But dealing with AI-generated code that one hopes to use in production can be “worse than babysitting,” she said

After AI Led to Layoffs, Coders Are Being Hired to Fix ‘Vibe-Coded’ Screwups

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-03 09:30:49

The generative AI industry has promised to “disrupt” society, and on that front, it can be said to have succeeded. AI has certainly disrupted many parts of society, including education, social media, and politics. Most of all, it seems to have disrupted the tech industry itself, where what was once a profitable career (software development) increasingly seems to be more of a precarious one, thanks to the rise of so-called “vibe coding”—a form of AI-assisted software development that requires les

Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code

With so many wild predictions flying around about the future AI, it’s important to occasionally take a step back and check in on what came true — and what hasn’t come to pass. Exactly six months ago, Dario Amodei, the CEO of massive AI company Anthropic, claimed that in half a year, AI would be "writing 90 percent of code." And that was the worst-case scenario; in just three months, he predicted, we could hit a place where "essentially all" code is written by AI. As the CEO of one of the buzzi

Inside the Man vs. Machine Hackathon

On a breezy San Francisco afternoon last Saturday, I found myself at a nondescript coworking space filled with shoeless coders. Just over a hundred visitors had crowded into an office building in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood for a showdown that would pit teams armed with AI coding tools against those made up of only humans (all were asked to ditch their shoes at the door). The hackathon was dubbed “Man vs. Machine,” and its goal was to test whether AI really does help people code faster—and

Programmers Using AI Create Way More Glaring Security Issues, Data Shows

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology. Looking at code from thousands of developers and tens of thousand repositories, Apiiro found that AI-assisted devs were indeed producing three or four times mo

Is AI the end of software engineering or the next step in its evolution?

theverge.com Sheon Han 2025-10-24 14:00:00

The first time I used ChatGPT to code, back in early 2023, I was reminded of “The Monkey’s Paw,” a classic horror story about an accursed talisman that grants wishes, but always by the most malevolent path — the desired outcome arrives after exacting a brutal cost elsewhere first. With the same humorless literalness, ChatGPT would implement the change I’d asked for, while also scrambling dozens of unrelated lines. The output was typically over-engineered, often barnacled with irrelevant fragment

Fastly’s July 2025 survey of 791 developers found a notable difference in how much AI-generated code is making it into production. About a third of senior developers (10+ years of experience) say over half their shipped code is AI-generated — nearly two and a half times the rate reported by junior developers (0–2 years of experience), at 13%. “AI will bench test code and find errors much faster than a human, repairing them seamlessly.

Das Problem mit German Strings

German strings are everywhere I look. The impression I’ve gotten from working in the Rust Arrow/Datafusion ecosystem and related file formats for the last couple of months is that StringViews (the implementation of German strings in Arrow) are becoming, if they have not already, the canonical form of representing string columns at execution time. This is generally a good idea. German strings are a fantastic innovation rooted in simplicity that greatly improves most string processing use-cases i
