Almost no one works on stuff like that, so congrats on finding a corner case I guess.

Complete nonsense.

There are people who write software for hedge funds, quant firms, aviation and defense systems, data center providers, major telecom services used by hospitals and emergency services and semiconductor firms and the big oil and energy companies and that is NOT "almost no-one" and these companies see and make hundreds of billions of dollars a year on average.

This is even before me mentioning big tech.

Perhaps the work most here on this site are doing is not serious enough that can be totally vibe-coded and are toy projects and bring in close to $0 for the company to not care.

What I am talking about is the software that is responsible for being the core revenue driver of the business and it being also mission critical.
