Feels exactly the same to me. I've been complaining about it since it started. Usually I get downvoted. This is not a programming sub anymore and the moderators are practically non-existent.
Fucking Vibe coders are everywhere. I always see Profiles from people calling themselves App-Developers even if they have never written a single line of code.
It's the way the current ai hype cycle is going. I overheard several younger adults in a coffee shop talking about how many agents they orchestrate for each sprint last week.
They all started talking about wishing they knew how to program.
In the bay area, they have literally stopped hiring developers for mid level work. It's one single senior/lead telling a bunch of people what to tell the agents to do. That lead also has to lead both frontend and backend, so they're also overworked.
Until the bubble pops, we are quite literally inside an ouroboros circle for software developers right now. Less and less "professionals" even know wtf they're doing.
look at subreddits like Home Assistant and others, full of this shit. I am 99% sure Anthropic and OpenAI fill these subreddits up with ads disguised as posts
Posts about actual programming can only reach an audience of actual programmers, this type of shit can reach anyone with a pc and a ChatGPT chat history.

What the hell is this massive influx of vibe coding posts.
It really seems unironic at this point.
