If you're just building a non-security-sensitive frontend to validate market traction, it makes total sense to go full AI. The commenter working at a 10-person company getting flamed for not using AI to iterate aggresively against competitors has a super valid point.

Validation methods will evolve to accommodate human laziness. Insisting on doing it the hard way is no different than the old-timers who used to claim engineers 'weren't skilled' if they didn't know how to use punch cards.

Ad hominem. Skilled programmers != old-timers calling others unskilled. Who does fuzz testing, automated integration tests, etc already, that LLMs need as a test harness? It’s not the vibe coders saying “nobody reads assembly anyway” as an argument.

I simplified this argument to highlight that we’ve seen this exact pattern before.
