I think part of the problem is that people have the wrong mental models currently.

I am a non-software engineer and I fully expect someday to be a professional "vibe coder". It will be within a domain though and not a generalist like a real software engineer.

I think "vibe coding" in this context will have a type of relationship to software engineering the way excel has a relationship to the professional mathematician.

The knocks on "vibe coding" by software engineers are like a mathematician shitting on Excel for not being able to do symbolic manipulation.

It is not wrong but missing the forest for the trees.
