I have a theory that vibe coding existed before AI.

I have a theory that vibe coding existed before AI. I’ve worked with plenty of developers who are happy to slam null checks everywhere to solve NREs with no thought to why the object is null, should it even be null here, etc. There’s just a vibe that the null check works and solves the problem at hand. I actually think a few folks like this can be valuable around the edges of software but whole systems built like this are a nightmare to work on. IMO AI vibe coding is an accelerant on this style of not knowing why something works but seeing what you want on the screen.
