BOFH: Vibe-coded solutions arrive for problems nobody has

The Boss gives common sense an AI wrapper

Why this matters
Why now

The BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell) series is a long-running satirical column, and this entry reflects ongoing, often humorous, frustrations with enterprise IT trends, in this case, AI hype.

Why it’s important

It serves as a cultural observation on the often-overblown promises and sometimes nonsensical applications of new technologies, especially AI, within corporate environments.

What changes

Nothing fundamentally changes; it's a satirical take on existing dynamics rather than a report on new developments.
