This is the new challenge. Every vibecoder is larping as a SWE and rewriting systems left and right when all they need is a new feature or two. 6000 line PRs that could be 60. The challenge in the current era is evolving existing systems to ensure they meet previous requirements in terms of capabilities and performance. This is the new role of the SWE. Same as the old role, but with less typing.
