On the 25th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, co-author Jon Kern told The Register he is "smitten" with vibe coding (his platform: Replit), but warned about the "amplification effect" — AI exaggerates both ability and inability. He recounted an insurance company that fired its coding staff assuming AI tools could replace them, only to find the output failed to meet expectations. His prediction: "There'll probably be some spectacular articles written about amazing failures." Worth reading for a balanced, credible perspective in a debate dominated by extremes.
