How to handle vibe politics as a SWE?
I am a SWE on the BI/Data team. In the past, I haven't really worked extensively with front-end frameworks or languages as I spent 95% of my time on back-end processes (SQL, some Python, integrations, Azure services, data pipeline tools, microservices, observability, etc).
These days, I still spend most of my time on back-end stuff, but I have been building my own front-ends instead of co-developing with a front-end dev as I would normally do.
So now instead of just building out APIs and databases and "handing off" to a web developer, I'm just doing everything.
This brings me to office politics...
Since most managers see me as a "back-end" engineer, I'm hesitant to say I used Codex to build something because I don't want them to discount the data work I've done "behind the scenes" and just assume building XYZ was as easy as a simple "prompt".
Has anyone had success/failure with vibe coding in the office? Did you tell people you used AI to build it? How did it play out?
