@stefano we've done that a few times. Somehow 'restore from our last good backup' is often the first step.

@stefano

AI-generated integrated systems config & procedural advice is generally crap dressed up nice.

Some of it might work, but finding what does is like trying to pick a few grains of salt from a bucket of sand.

@stefano that's what I'll probably live of in the future, as a developer. But I'm not happy at all: fixing vibed code is an horrible task. It's not like fixing code written by an intern: there's intent in that, it probably tried to understand the problem and then (failed at?) deliver a solution.
In the case of vibed code, there's only a list of example inputs and attended results: the generated code may be everything, it's probably easier to rewrite it from scratch, a price the customer will not want to pay, because "it worked perfectly until now!"...
