A succinct post illustrating that vibe coding is to become a cog that will be the first to be replaced by the AI you use. It's a temporary, automatable job--like entering a career in warehouse package handling with robots due sooner than later.

Code or code not, there is no Vibe coder.

With that framing, I suppose "vibe-coding" would be in a similar realm to "button pushing" or "lever pulling" or "handle cranking".

There's often a transitional period where the task exists and needs to be done... but without enough human thought and judgement it's only temporary, and ends when it becomes cheap enough to hook up a motor or actuator.

And if you're not doing it to get a job, it's either much better or worse, though I suspect worse. The other buckets are likely that you're doing it to learn something new (which you won't retain anything and thus it's a waste of time) or you are only interested in the end product, which will be subpar compared to comparable professionally developed products. It's hard to see a good use case for "vibe coding" beyond viral examples like the flight simulator game made by an influencer.
