    Large tech companies and investors are buying into the vibe coding hype, prioritizing quantity over quality and laying off people who can actually code for real in the process. I originally intended to work in the software engineering industry, but seeing the complete disregard for high quality code, overpowering greed and hype, and the layoffs that follow from it, I am shifting into academic research instead. […] I want to do something actually meaningful and innovative with my time and life, not command Claude like I’m speaking to a child who forgets something every ten minutes and makes an oopsies every twenty before breaking down every hour.

    Well shit, can’t say I blame him.
