I agree but the practical cost is most heavily paid in a collaborative work setting. Now everyone at all layers of a company is doing build prototype exploration but without the intermediary internal-filter check. Instead, these explorations get a straight line to production, for reasons I'm not exactly sure. Because it can I guess?

That's the part that surprises me. I have only ever shared one prototype I made with AI, and only because we were presenting on how we were exploring AI use and with constant mention that it was a proof of concept prototype.

I feel like putting any prototype, even if it was hand written, would be really risking my credibility if I put it into production without having it at least to the point that it wouldn't matter if it was vibe coded, via a few weeks of using the project myself.

Yeah that's where my eyebrows go to the moon. My investigations are at best in staging after a dev machine review, if nontech people are involved you need per-user cloud dev I think
