I think people miss that "vibe coding" is a senior engineering tool. You still have to architect the project. You still have to ensure security and performance are handled (if relevant for the task). You still have to envision edge cases and usage patterns. You just don't have to type it out.

Now non-programmers can fumble forward to a working demo. But junior engineers are walking around with a loaded weapon - if they are not learning from how AI solves a problem or using it like StackOverflow to answer specific questions, they are blowing up their own careers.

The future is we are all product engineers or domain experts. No one is going to want an army of React engineers in 2 years.
