Why I Do Not Vibe With Code

Ah, the eternal developer paradox. When someone shows us AI-generated code, we instantly recognize it as a tangled mess of bugs and questionable design choices. "This is brilliant," we say with thinly veiled sarcasm.

But then there's our own code—equally disastrous, probably held together with duct tape and prayers—and somehow we're irrationally attached to it. "But I like this."

It's like criticizing someone else's kid for being messy while your own demon spawn is literally setting the house on fire. The cognitive dissonance is strong in this profession.
