"For months, software developers have been giddy with excitement over "vibe coding"- prompting desired software functions or features in natural language-with the latest AI code generation tools. Anthropic's Claude Code is the darling of the moment, but OpenAI's Codex, Cursor and other tools have also led engineers to flood social media with examples of tasks that used to take days and are now finished in minutes."
"In a blog post this week titled "The Grief When AI Writes All the Code," Gergely Orosz of The Pragmatic Engineer, wrote that he is "coming to terms with the high probability that AI will write most of my code which I ship to production." It already does it faster, he explained, and for languages and frameworks he is less familiar with, it does a better job."
Advanced AI code-generation tools enable developers to specify desired functions in natural language, completing tasks that once took days in minutes. Multiple tools, including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, have accelerated software creation and prompted widespread excitement among engineers. Many developers now face disorientation as years of honed coding skills appear less essential and the immersive flow of writing code gives way to supervising AI outputs. Some engineers acknowledge that AI already writes production code faster and can outperform them in unfamiliar languages or frameworks, producing a sense that valuable expertise is being rapidly displaced.
