Yeah because vibe coding has only really worked for 3 months. Give it a chance!
It'll probably be a couple of years before most companies even realise it's an option.

Most developers don't work building low level high performance scalable systems for a large tech firms, they are making CRUD back-ends for phone apps.
This section of the industry is definitely contracting. Even more obvious is the dev tooling part of it. Dev tooling companies are disappearing or being "bought" all over the place because what might have been a product before is now an hour or two with someone with CC.
Yeah, 100%. Even for relatively complex scenarios (i.e. over-engineered for purpose) as long as the engineer can prompt coherently and tweak it's a big increase in productivity, at least for those people.
The gap is in things like contract houses where you might see better code on code review from the people submitting but if you actually use the tools, you know that the hours billed are even more inflated than they might have been before.
the mythical man month lesson holds for CRUD apps as well. I'd be careful to equate churning out lines of code with the health of a piece of software down the road, even a relatively straight forward one.
Keep in mind in any real world software what matters is maintenance of a system, not just how many features you can add, regardless of human or machine generated code, some badly glued together codebase that's rapidly growing is going to haunt you.
Which is also why replacing sound dev tooling and with a magical prompt genie is incredibly irresponsible and short-sighted. You could cheaply produce code by outsourcing it years ago.
How long have people been warning about global warming? Do you still think it isn't real?
It does not. But it does mean they are bad at predictions and you shouldn't give their latest prediction much credence.
Six months before the start of WW2 would your rather be "we're not at war, don't panic" or "peace is over, stockpile food"?

The third is definitely not as good as the commercial version, but it also doesn't cost $100k/seat/year.
Unfortunately work paid for the tokens so I can't share them, but I've seen it with my own eyes. It really works now. The code is not slop (and I am a perfectionist; it's not just that I have low standards).
It doesn't work with pre-Astra models for sure though.
If you moved the goal posts any farther, they'd have traveled around the world and would be sitting at your back right now.
