Not my experience at all. I write code every day and our customers pay real money to use it.

In other words, software engineers need to "sell" the value of their work.

This is another article that largely boils down to "Some people really really like money."

Our first job is not: to code. Our first job is: not to code.

I mean its no wonder "vibe coding" is so appealing if this is the incentives framework. Why put brainpower in if it is treated as disposable junk. Just tell the AI to vibe out some slop and move on -- "business" can't tell the difference anyway.

FWIW-- I resist this mindset, but I am sympathetic to it, I understand where it comes from. Pearls before swine and whatnot.
