Strong feelings are fair, but the architect analogy cuts the other way. Architects and civil engineers do not eyeball every rebar or hand compute every load. They probably use way more automation than you would think.

I do not claim this is vibe coding, and I do not ship unreviewed changes to safety critical systems (in case this is what people think). I claim that in 2025 reviewing every single changed line is not the only way to achieve quality at the scale that AI codegen enables. The unit of review is shifting from lines to specifications.
