Indeed, I once worked with a developer on a contract team who was only concerned with runtime execution, no concern whatever for architecture or code clarity or whatever at all.

The client loved him, for obvious reasons, but it's hard to wrap my head around such an approach to software construction.

Another time, I almost took on a gig, but when I took one look at the code I was supposed to take over, I bailed. Probably a decade would still not be sufficient for untangling and cleaning up the code.

True vibe coding is the worst thing. It may be suitable for one-ff shell script s of < 100 line utilities and such, anything more than that and you are simple asking for trouble
