There never was a career path for a vibe coder. Vibe coder won’t be a thing in a year. There’ll be a new, meaningless term though.

- makestuff 1y agoI completely forgot about prompt engineers. I remember now startups offering insane salaries to them a few years ago. IMO the next iteration will be planning engineers since the new thing seems to be the plan/execution split of these vibe coding tools.
- __MatrixMan__ 1y agoIsn't a planning engineer just an engineer?
- AnotherGoodName 1y agoEven vibe coding was coined as term applying to extremely experienced engineers (the guy who coined the term) using llms to rapidly experiment with refactoring and prototyping as if doing pair programming. The negative connotations we now have are an interesting semantic shift. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding
