Used to think Ford was building cars—turns out we were just vibe coding in Figma and naming commits “final_final2_thisOneFixesIt”. The CVS org? It wasn’t Connected Vehicle Software. It was Confused Vibes and Slack.
You’d spend half your sprint making a slide deck for a feature no one asked for, then burn the rest “aligning stakeholders” who ghosted the meeting. Code reviews? Nah—just a vibe check and a “looks good, ship it.”
Heard the Ford LLM was trained on mid-year self-assessments and TikTok captions. One guy pushed a 600-line PR with no description and said, “Let the code speak for itself.” Another filed a Jira ticket titled “resolving stuff.”
Now they’re laying off the CVS team like it’s spring cleaning for stale branches. RIP to GitHub Gatsby and the dream of pushing vibes to production. Hope you committed your severance to main.
