Stefano Marinelli<p>Someone I don't know shared my blog post "Vibe Coding Will Rob Us of Our Freedom" on r/programming — it got removed for being "clickbait" and an "unpopular topic".<br>Looks like it touched a nerve.<br>Some of the feedback I got elsewhere made me think even more.<br>I'll write about it.</p><p>EDIT: Okay, I didn't want to go on about this, but...: <a href="https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05/when-we-become-cheerleaders-for-our-own-demise/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05</span><span class="invisible">/when-we-become-cheerleaders-for-our-own-demise/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITNotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/VibeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VibeCoding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reddit</span></a></p>
Stefano Marinelli<p>Ever heard of vibe coding?<br>It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.</p><p>I’ve seen it happen.<br>AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.<br>Nobody understood it.</p><p>We’re trading skill for speed.<br>And that’s how we lose our freedom.</p><p>Vibe Coding Will Rob Us of Our Freedom: <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05/vibe-coding-will-rob-us-of-our-freedom/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">it-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05</span><span class="invisible">/vibe-coding-will-rob-us-of-our-freedom/</span></a></p><p>EDIT: Given the trends and the comments, I wrote something off the cuff about it: <a href="https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05/when-we-become-cheerleaders-for-our-own-demise/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05</span><span class="invisible">/when-we-become-cheerleaders-for-our-own-demise/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITNotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>data</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ownyourdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ownyourdata</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a></p>
Stefano Marinelli<p>I've been noticing a worrying trend: developers being pushed to value speed over understanding, relying on AI to just "get it done". But what happens when we no longer know what our code is really doing?</p><p>My take on this will be on it-notes tomorrow morning.</p><p>EDIT: Here it is: <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05/vibe-coding-will-rob-us-of-our-freedom/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">it-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05</span><span class="invisible">/vibe-coding-will-rob-us-of-our-freedom/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITNotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/StayTuned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StayTuned</span></a></p>

Stefano Marinelli<p>My blog post yesterday on IT-Notes had unexpected success.<br>The number of views is incredibly high and keeps skyrocketing by the hour. It’s yet another confirmation that, in a world flooded with fake or AI-generated content, people still need (and want) to read true stories - real experiences from real life.</p><p>The only thing that makes me sad:<br>Even though I eventually edited the article to clarify that there was no organized crime involved, many comments keep insisting that, since it happened in Italy, there must be organized crime or the mafia behind it.</p><p>As if things like this could only happen in Italy, and only if organized crime is involved.</p><p><a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/05/13/the_server_that_wasnt_meant_to_exist/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">it-notes.dragas.net/2025/05/13</span><span class="invisible">/the_server_that_wasnt_meant_to_exist/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITNotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Italy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Italy</span></a></p>
