If you’re still obsessed with writing “clean code” in 2025 then you are living in the stone age.
The clean code era is over. AI is here.
Your precious descriptive variable names,
Your admirable small functions,
Your meticulous design patterns and tireless refactorings…
All these things are far far less important now in the age of AI.
I can’t even remember the last time I created a variable by myself.
Wrote a function from scratch by myself?
Even created a file by myself? 🤔 (super rare)
Nobody codes like that anymore (sorry).
AI is here and modern developers don’t code that way.
Lol, you people and your annoying AI hype. Vibe coding is useless and AI can never replace programmers in any way. Stop talking nonsense.
Ha ha, yes I know some of you are still scoffing with disdain at the recent uprising of vibe coding and coding agents.
You proudly refuse to use even the slightest bit of AI in your coding.
Even basic Copilot code completions from 2021 are a no-no for you.
Well hate to break it to you but the world is leaving people like this behind.
There’s no going back — AI-first development is fast becoming the gold standard.
What matters most now is not clean or clear code — what matters is clear intent, goals, and context for the AI agent.
Not descriptive variable names — but now descriptive well-written prompts.
No longer just using the DRY principle in your code — but now also in all your AI interactions by setting powerful system prompts and personalized style guides.
No longer just about using the most intuitive and powerful libraries and APIs — but now using the all most powerful and highly capable MCP Servers.
Coding in 2025 is no longer about typing — it’s about thinking.
Actually it’s always been — but now the power of your thoughts has exploded drastically.
A thought, a design, an idea that took several days and weeks to be typed into life now takes a few minutes of prompting.
AI has astronomically expanded the power of our minds to do far more than ever before at any point in human history.
Should we still be wasting so much time obsessing over low-level details like whether we named our variables with snake case or camel case?
It’s time to level up and achieve our true potential.
Comprehensive context provisions, sophisticated prompting techniques, elaborate intent definitions, hyper-personalized system prompts, high-powered MCP server integrations…
These are the crucial things you need to focus right now.
These are what will turn you into a god-mode developer.
