Have you used a state of the art tool (e.g. Claude Code) in the past 6 months? If you only tried free tools, or only tried 1 year ago last, you really need to check again.

AI tools can absolutely contribute usefully, I can't keep count of the times where an AI pointed to an edge case I didn't think about, then helped me write the fix and the test for the issue.

I'm not vibe coding, as I'm reviewing the code, but saying they can't be useful means you haven't taken the time to look at the state of them recently.
