Our company has mandated that everyone "vibe-codes" from now on.
It was only a matter of time, but with the popularity of AI coding tools, someone on our team went over everyone's heads and "vibe coded" our entire platform by himself on a few weeks which barely functions but looks nice - then essentially implied, "hey, why keep all these guys when you can just give me a promotion and let me vibe code your full stack".
When our team confronted him about this, he said, "no offence, but you either get with the times, or get left behind".
Now our deadlines have shrunk drastically and we're taking on an impossible number of projects. Our company essentially has an unlimited token limit on a popular AI service and essentially has given us no choice but to either vibe code our projects from here on out to get them out the door, or find another job.
Just curious to see if other people have encountered similar shifts at their job and if things are turning out okay.
