I'm getting tired of these posts. 3 on the front page in the last 24 hours?
1. Is a significant number of people claiming that vibe coding is engineering?
2. Are people vibe coding in serious companies/on serious projects?
3. Are true engineers getting replaced by vibe coders?
4. Are we holding a prototype for a social app for dog walkers to the same standard as the persistence layer for a bank?
5. If a vibe coder's PR gets merged into a critical system, isn't that a catastrophic failure of code review, automated testing, and senior oversight?
This whole vibe coding panic feels like experienced engineers complaining that junior engineers are, well, junior. The entire point of a career is to move from 'what works' (vibes) to 'why it works' (first principles).
