I really need to keep my (actual) programming skills up to date, because they might be worth a ton of money in some years when everyone will need to unfuck their vibe coded bs.
Bold of you to assume anyone is going to care enough to hire professionals to fix old software. They’re just going to vibe code a new program with the new whizbang-5000 LLM.
Even if the pay is good - unfucking vibed code is going to be very grueling. Like fixing legacy code but so much worse - because legacy code at least used to make sense at some point in the past.
TBH I only occasionally do some C# and C++ for about 20 years in my spare time, but even if I were hypothetically qualified to fix the world i’m kind of just planning to sit back and watch all of the sloppers go bankrupt for ruining their companies.
Behold, the future of programming.
