Why do you think so? To me it means everyone with a vision is empowered to build things. I expect an explosion of one person startups over the next years because building a website, an app or whatever doesnt require any of the technical expertise that has limited people since the beginning of the internet.
A person who knows what they want, have a clear idea of an outcome will be able to "vibe code" a forum like this in no time..
Creativity and imagination is, as it always has been, the most important soft skill to have in my opinion.
I have no issues with startups, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, etc. vibe coding. It's a great way to implement ideas and then validate them. A dream for startups. It doesn't matter if founders can't even write their "hello world" when validating an idea.
If you're working on a personal or hobby project, do whatever you want. Let your cat sleep on the keyboard, feed that into DeepSeek, and pipe the output directly into `git commit -am 'lol vibes' && git push --force` if you want.
The problem is when manglement think vibe coding is a replacement for professional software engineers in an enterprise environment.
Let's consider the lifecycle of the code: Who's responsible? Who knows what the code does? Who's going to maintain it beyond AI? Is it secure? Reliable? I'm not talking about the next TikTok, but how about software in nuclear plants/transportation/medical devices?
In a corporate enterprise, if I'm your coworker, that finished product is a pull request that has
your name on it. If I'm reviewing it, I expect
you to be able to answer questions about the details of the code. If I ask a question about some detail in your PR and your answer is "I dunno why it's that way, the AI wrote the code based on vibes and I ignored the details" I am going to have to have an uncomfortable chat with you and/or your manager.
An LLM is just a tool you can use. it does not remove the need to think about the details.
