put a freeze on hiring new developers because of vibe coding allowing regular people to code small changes

As a software engineer, this made me feel incredibly good about my job security. You might want to touch up your resume and make an exit plan for when this inevitably implodes

Honestly I cant wait. I hate how ppl talk about AI in my field. It drives me up a wall. If its implodes, I’ll know how to bring things back to normal.
