We're 6 months away from some company's app/infrastructure/whatever going down and staying down, because literally nobody knows how the 500,000 line code base works and Claude is stuck in a loop.

Lol, just press escape then tell it to roll back to the last stable release.

Right, because the same people who vibe coded their applications are the same people who take the time to setup robust infrastructure to allow for easy roll backs.

LLMs are good for documenting specific things.

E.g., "find where the method X is called and what arguments are passed".

That can be useful for refactoring or debugging.

Coding is the worst way to use an LLM though.

Shhh...you're only supposed to unilaterally praise it to get along with your clueless leadership.

The same is true for every other strategy to avoid technical debt.

It is bullshit all the way down.
