"Vibe coding" doesn't eliminate programming; it effectively promotes everyone to Senior Code Reviewer—often without the necessary credentials.

The danger isn't that the product won't launch. The danger is that it works too well while being structurally unsound. It’s like handing a nail gun to someone who doesn't understand load-bearing walls. You get speed, sure, but you are essentially generating Legacy Code at the speed of light.

The real question isn't whether non-programmers can build, but who is going to maintain the infinite loop of technical debt they are unknowingly creating?
