This is so true. Probably why there's so much abandonware nowadays.

Sadly, yes. I think that as vibe coded projects grow, it becomes unmaintainable, even for AI. It gets to a stage where authors will just abandon the projects because the AI starts hallucinating all kinds of crazy shit while trying to fix simple things or add further features.

Without good software architecture/design, it's going to get very messy. Even the best AI LLMs will get fucked up from it.

The analogy is old as time, but still apt: use great tools to leverage craft, but know your craft. Picking up an awesome paintbrush doesn't make you a great artists, that only comes with experience and understanding of subject matter and materials.
