Yeah but why wouldn't it be a radiologists wet dream too?

How so?
Less time studying images; more time with patients.
(I guess it depends on the personality of the person, but why wouldn't radiology for example shift that way 😏)
Ah, vibe coding is about using generative AI to develop software.
Indeed AI can and is currently being used to diagnose patients cheaply but there’s an ethical concern due to the biases that creep into it from the training data. Not a show stopper but an issue that needs to be addressed for people to trust it.
same applies to software. and good software takes a lot of work to make it good. the AI is just recomposing from all the code it was trained on and there's no guarantee that it's quality.
Quality in code is overrated 😎
Was there ever a guarantee that code was quality?
How would that work, really?
true, the question I have is how much the business world cares about profit vs quality.
There’s a sweet spot for many businesses where the cost of quality (lack of) is far less than the cost of having a team of developers that care about it.
There’s a real tension between business values and engineering values.
As developers we think quality is essential (and it kind of is for the long-term success of the business), but for the business quality is a cost and a risk… and cost is to be minimized and risks to be mitigated (legal, retention, etc) just like speeding on the highway.
If there’s no business, like in the case of open source projects, then yeah, quality would probably reign supreme specially if the devs care a lot about craftsmanship and squeezing out cpu cycles.
yeah, but quality tends to mean security and that is essential for preventing liability... commercial projects tend to be higher quality and the devs are paid well so they spend the time on making it better most of the time
open source can be utter bullcrap a lot of the time, unless it is built by paid developers or the rare craftsmen among us
the majority of repos that i try out for this or that turn out to be useless or buggy or some other quality issue, even quite old ones that are mostly good but really not
Healthcare is a large beast but trust me, they're vibing new stuff at every level in a lot of places outside of the main pipelines, so to speak
...and it ain't just healthcare 😉
