One consequence I thought would follow from vibecoding was, systems are not going to get simpler: when two bureaucratic processes interact, and those processes are aided by automation, there's less incentive to cut through the bureaucracy and simplify the underlying processes

what I hadn't realised was, things will get worse, not better: I'm now seeing systems that are complex beyond human reasoning, because humans *aren't reasoning about them*. >1kloc bash scripts embedded within >2kloc YAML files, that are not independently developed or tested, stuff like that

@fred perhaps there is hope: for those of us inclined and sufficiently skilled, there remains a need for taking a machete to processes, and understanding how to do things simply. We’ll be drowning in work!
