So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there’s broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo’ed a full stack change into prod without review. It’s fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.
It’s almost comical, but something immediately broke.
Most of my day, I’m digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.
I kind of don’t know what to do.
Gunna be honest, if you really feel that way you’d fire the vibe coder. I don’t give a shit if it’s broken ifs due to the negligence of management and other employees.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. And ofc this varies based on the service as all things do. But it’s rarely important enough that I’d stay over. Like if lives where at risk or it’s a “bring the company down but” maybe I’d stay. But there would be hell to pay for whoever broke it later. Either that or the company would loose me as an employee
