Vibecoders are a fucking nightmare

I feel like I just need somewhere to run right now and I don't have anywhere really. I've started this new job about a month ago and the whole schtick was that we'd be rewriting this old app to meet a tight deadline and immediately putting it on a code freeze to make something better to replace it.

fine, I get it, tight deadlines and lots to do of course you going to tempted to use AI. when youre architecting a complex application on top of APIs that you've not worked with before you're going to miss stuff anyway. But honestly, out of the four of us, two of the mobile devs are some of the biggest pig shits I've ever had to work with. fundamentally having to explain that this guy can't just merge his changes into the main branch, or not to leave file spanning comments spat out by Gemini to explain the code that he's not even bothered to read, A shit that goes beyond being in a rush to not being competent to do the job you've been given.

again, fine, I can get around some of this with the promise of slowing down and picking up The new projects and enforcing some higher quality standards which everyone supposedly wishes for. fine.

nope. whilst me and the other competent dev are trying to sort out the slop that has been dumped on the app in question over the last month, the deadline has passed us (something which I said was going to happen but was ignored), and the two vibe coders have complained that they "don't have any work to do" And on now architecting the next fucking project with senior team members whilst I'm getting grilled over "why is XYZ taking so long?" because the fucking vibe code is vibe coded that you fucking hacks and you rewarded them with this new project.

it's disheartening, because I said all of this upfront, but because I wasn't the first person in the team out of the gate my opinions are basically worth as much as this rant will (understandably) be worth to most of you: pittance.

I'm not the best programmer on earth, not even the most experienced, but it does my fucking head in to have imposter syndrome every time I log into work every morning because there are two sodding imposters in front of me getting the credit!!! absolute dog shit.
