That's why I'm keen on keeping vibe coding to it's original definition as a fun way to prototype some ideas if you don't care at all if the code is robust, secure, maintainable etc.

If you're writing code for production, even if you get an LLM to put together bits of it for you, that's programming. It's pretty much copy-and-paste-for-stackoverflow if StackOverflow had a massively larger library of snippets that almost always included the thing you needed at that exact moment.

Professional programmers still need to take responsibility for making sure the code they are producing actually works!




Now imagine it's not professional programmers writing this code. The same way it's not professional film makers making Mr Beast videos. The quality is not even part of the equation.


To spell out the obvious, the most subscribed channel on Youtube belongs to an 'amateur' -- that's what people are choosing. People don't care. But that's because that's what Youtube incentivizes; Mr.Beast just optimized his content for the medium.
