Vibe coding law: Y = 5x – 2

From my experience leading an engineering org that puts vibe coding in practice.

X is your developers and Y is the outcome with vibe coding.

-- 1 excellent developer with AI = powerful trinity.

-- 10 excellent devs in tandem with AI = an armada.

-- 10 mediocre devs with AI = chaos of 50 mediocres

-- 0 devs with AI = -2 (the 2 you need to hire now to rescue you from the attack, get your credit card back, close your servers and clean up the mess)

Amplify the signal and not the noise.
