#2I just take some kitchen paper and one of these small thin plastic bags to clean up after my own dog's shit. No need to pay for a service.

True, no need to pay for it if you know how to build that same thing from scratch

#4Our company has been doing emergency fixes (system that are down, costing companies significant money and they cannot fix) for decades. We have been seeing a significant uptick in occurrences the past few years.

#5Need an MCP server that can do this.

#6I wonder if vibe coding is a bit like DIY plumbing. You can do it yourself a bit and then later when water starts gushing all over your bathroom you hire an emergency plumber at a high fee.
You learn a little more for next time.

You could say that. Professional plumbers often love to use tools built to make the lives of DIY plumbers easier too though. The difference is they know when and when not to do so.

#8That raises the question if LLM-generated code is going out of fashion in general. The article seems to assume it will always exist and always need clean-up. But what if it's not worth it and instead you should (mainly) return to the world where humans write code? Simply because salary < LLM-credits + cleanup costs.

Wouldn't that be using vibe coding to fix vibe coding?
And isn't the expected timeframe hours, days or weeks rather than milliseconds or seconds like people expect with MCP?

#10I have been taking on "rescue" projects for a while through my business. Previously, the barely-functioning code was usually being generated via outsourcing agencies but it seems the new source is now going to be LLMs.
I imagine it will be the same set of issues really. Just a different way of cost cutting measures. There can be good reasons to take shortcuts but, in my experience, the problems start when you're not mindful that there's a price to pay for taking these shortcuts. Whether it comes from managers, employees or outsourced personnel, it's the same result.
I haven't thought about advertising it as a separate type of service(for vibe coded platforms) yet but maybe I should. The Australian software market is small so haven't been hearing much about the results of those experiments.
