  "transcript": "I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.\n\nI submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.\n\nI feel like things are just so crazy at this point.  Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.\n\nIt was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.\n\nIt was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[1 upvotes] **TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 50 comments.**\n\nThe thread is pretty split on this one. A lot of you are calling BS on OP's story, pointing out that three 20,000-line PRs in a single day is a sign of a fundamentally broken process, not just an AI problem. Several users also clocked this as a repost from another sub, so the karma farm accusations are flying.\n\nHowever, even with the skepticism, the core sentiment about \"vibe coding\" and \"AI slop\" is resonating hard. Many engineers are sharing similar, if less dramatic, stories of colleagues and managers using AI to generate mountains of code without documentation or a coherent plan, leading to a future of unmaintainable tech debt.\n\n**The consensus is that while OP's specific tale might be an exaggeration, it highlights a very real anxiety. The problem isn't AI itself, but the lazy users and managers who are abandoning fundamental engineering principles, creating a house of cards that will inevitably collapse.** Basically, it's a user issue, not a tool issue.\n\n[96 upvotes] \"3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on\"\n\nThat just doesn't compute. Get hold of the product specification.\n\n[18 upvotes] I have noticed this too. If you let it do too much the code stops making intuitive sense, and you then need AI to make any changes. ",
