I think the problem is in what “proven” means. People that don’t know any better will just do that all with LLMs and still deliver the giant untested PRs but with some LLM written tests attached.

I vibe code a lot of stuff for myself, mostly for viewing data, when I don’t really need to care how it works. I’m coming around to the idea that outside of some specific circumstances where everyone has agreed they don’t need to care about or understand the code, team vibe coding is a bad practice.

If I’m paying an engineer, it’s for their work, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

I think vibe coding is soon going to be seen the same way as “research” where you engage an offshore team (common e.g. in consulting) to give you a rundown on some topic and get back the first five google search results. Everyone knows how to do that, if it’s what they wanted they wouldn’t be hiring someone to do it.
