Why are we still so slow?

Hard conversation real talk time: we can't produce high (or even acceptable) quality software at the speed our customers can vibe code. Explaining this to a non-developer is a difficult conversation. I know the gastown crowd is gonna jump on me in the comments, and that's fine, but nothing I have seen from AI coding agents at all convinces me that we can do without the need for a human to understand the code being produced. If anything, the dramatic downturn in quality from Claude in the last week or two has convinced me we need more human attention, not less. This means there is a very finite software development speed limit. The good news is that it's probably an order of magnitude faster (or more) than we could go before (effective) AI coding agents. The bad news is that it is much slower than folks can produce software that appears to work (until it doesn't) without any human taking the time required to understand the code. This might be a tough spot to be in for awhile.
