Long ago, I used to work at some bank, where SVN branch merging was always super painful and instead of solving people problem, there was holy, e-mail based system running on our common dev machines.

After recieving properly formatted email, script was executed to apply git merge between svn branches. In case of merge issues, the email was sent back with feedback. If everything was okay, a proper sign-off blessing by one of the technopriests as late check was applied and merge concluded.

A friend was recently telling me about an LLM'd PR he was reviewing submitted by a largely non-technical manager where the feature from the outside entirely appeared to work, but actually investigating the thousands of lines of generated code, it was instead hacking their response cache system to appear to work without actually updating anything on the backend.

It took a ton of effort on his part to convince his manager that this wasn't ready to be merged.

I wonder how much vibe coded software is out there in the wild that just appears to work?

lol you should absolutely merge it and go with it in such cases, just collect evidence first to have enough deniability and enjoy the show. You can tell a child not to do the thing over and over or just accept it will very quickly learn for their life that touching hot oven is not a smart thing to do. With so much AI hype induced brainrot seems for certain individuals the only antitode is to make them feel direct consequences of their false beliefs. Without feedback loop there is no learning occurring at all.

More dangerous thing is such idiot managers can judge you by their lens of shipping LLM garbage they didn't applied in reality to see consequences, living in fantasy due to lack of technical knowledge. Of course it directly leads to firing people and adding more tasks/balloning expectation on leftover team who are force trapped to burn out and be replaced as trash as that makes total sense in their world view and "evidence".
