There's one point missing here - the speed at which code can be generated and code can be read and understood. You can't skim/speed read code. You may be able to generate an entire codebase in minutes, but it takes significantly longer than that to work within a large codebase to understand it's intricacies to be able to refactor it and add new features. This is why you see vibe coded codebase with tons of dead code, inefficient/unsafe use of functions etc. I think when you're working with LLMs the temptation is to go as fast as it allows, but this is a trap.
