I'm very much torn on the vibe coding issues, I think I'm so torn because "vibe coded throw away code" is actually fine for some things, but horrible for others.
SN would devolve into a total mess trying to vibe code it, but thats because building each aspect of it requires understand lots of intent not of just the individual elements, but you need big picture intent as well (which LLMs generally are not good at).
However for other things, like throwaway GUIs (ie. you need a CRUD form to manage some data), it really doesn't matter if humans completely understand the code or not.
A huge huge amount of web programming is already in the later camp. What web developers actually understand what React+Tailwind are doing? Probably the majority are just copying and pasting boilerplate they find on stackoverflow until "it works".
