I’m not a coder, but I do a bit on the side. I’ve done some vibe coding “give me a script that does the thing” but it’s scary because I have absolutely no idea what it does. Reading code at least for me takes a really long time and with ADHD it just doesn’t sink in. Writing it, I know what it’s doing. When the code breaks, I don’t just ask the model to fix it. It goes off the rails if I do. I need to understand why it broke before I can ask for a proper fix.
So - I agree with your assessment. I don’t think the alll in on AI vibe coding people had the kind of coder mindset in the first place.
