It all depends on the goal IMO.

If you're building "production ready" stuff with logins for Other People and god forbid taking payments, yes you definitely must understand what the code does.

But when I'm building a tool that tags random meme reaction .webm files and finds duplicates from them, I couldn't care less what the quality is or if I understand what it does.

I can easily run it, observe if it does what I want and Vibe harder if it doesn't.

tl;dr vibing prod code = bad. vibing personal tools = good.
