I agree completely and I wish I was wrong as well. Luckily I don't develop software in a company that sells software (aside a few support utilities). What I see is that everyone is starting vibe coding and my job is to create a harness now. Within a year there is a software pipeline for a 500 people company that would rival a huge enterprise just a few years/months ago while still offering the flexibility of "agile/unplanned" development.

I have a huge backlog of reviewing code. Luckily most apps stay internal, but the desires to even host services on the net growths daily.

Last year december I had about 10 repositories with internal code bases. Now I have 100+. I constantly have to "renovate" apps that spawn CVS left and right. This was a pivot for me to develop myself to become a kindergarden teacher.

I don't have fears to be replaced, I have more problems with huge work loads... And software that was previously bought to solve a problem is now just vibe coded and copied by people that seriously don't understand the system they are developing. Well, interesting times...
