My current take: at the moment, vibecoding is much fun as being IT manager.

YMMV, not so fun for me being human/robot proxy constantly, there is "review dilemma" with AI tools:

review everything AI does - getting burned out quickly

skip review what AI does - getting wake up call in a weekends' nights and getting burned out quickly as well

> vibecoding is much fun as being IT manager

I think part of the popularity is that it appeals to people who want to be managers but lack people skills.

Or even if we do have those skills, I still do t like when some moron comes by my cubicle to discuss some nonsense, job related or not. I’d rather be vibe coding at home.

i found being an IT manager quite a bit more fun. at least i was working with people

the few years i was an IT manager i came to like the repeat offenders and those with chronic learned helplessness. they seemed like "regulars" and were all big personalities. often i wondered if they intentionally disabled bluetooth just to hang out for a few minutes
