Since vibecoding is meant to bring the results of programming to the masses and not meant to replace good programmers I don’t feel threatened by it. It’s for quick prototyping and throwaway ideas and allows Jack the carpenter to spin up an app for “free” which might work. As a basis for communicating ideas and quick prototyping it will find its place.

Management will replace competent coders with vibe coders, consequences be damned. They will cut costs, wreak havoc, and use the temporary savings to enrich themselves before moving on to another company to repeat the destruction.

This is why the current zealotry is reckless and harmful.
