Vibe coding is excellent if you have the experience to understand what the AI is churning out and then what to do with it.

The problem we have now is we have people who aren't engineers trying to make an app and they end up creating insecure and buggy messes, then struggle with figuring out how to deploy, or they end up destroying all their code with no recovery because they didn't know anything about version control.

All of those things were already happening with normal developers 10, 20, 30 years ago, and will keep happening, with or without AI.
AI allows it to happen at scale though.
As a professional developer, this seems like a problem I don't need to care about.
