A few months ago, many companies rushed to replace developers with AI.

It looked promising.Faster output. Lower cost. Less dependency. But reality kicked in. AI-generated code started:

  • Breaking existing features
  • Lacking consistency
  • Creating more maintenance overhead

And slowly, silently… companies started hiring developers back into the same roles.

Here’s the truth: AI can help you accelerate development.But it cannot take full ownership of a production system.

That’s why , you need developers to actually make the system work in the real world.

“Vibe coding” sounds exciting. But in production, it’s just not practical.

What are your observations ?
