One of the things people often overlook don't talk about in this arguments is the manager's point of view and how it's contributing to the shakeups in this industry. As a developer I'm bullish on coding agents and GenAI tools, because they can save you time and can augment your abilities. I've experienced it, and I've seen it enough already. I love them, and want to see them continue to be used. I'm bearish on the idea that "vibe coding" can produce much of value, and people without any engineering background becoming wildly productive at building great software. I know I'm not alone. If you're a good problem solver who doesn't know how to code, this is your gateway. And you better learn what's happening with the code while you can to avoid creating a huge mess later on. Developers argue about the quality of "vibe coded" stuff. There are good arguments on both sides.
