Yesterday I jumped on a call with a client who couldn’t get his build working. He’s a vibe coder, and the issue was simply a missing PATH export for his toolchain.

He had asked an AI for help. It spent a couple of minutes reading files and checking Xcode, then rewrote the build script with 40 extra lines.

I told him to undo all that and just add the missing path.

The problem isn’t AI, it’s people forgetting to think and try to compensate their skill without actual caring.
