Lars Jansen(@oldstackjournal):Nobody said “vibe” coders are replacing senior engineers on a 12 year old enterprise platform. They’re building the other 90% of software: a tracker for the shop a family recipe app a WordPress workflow that used to take a whole Saturday a local agent that actually does one job You don’t need to know every framework convention to ship that. You do need taste, persistence, and the ability to tell the model “that smells wrong, try again.” That’s the new class. Not “fake developers.” Just people who can now finish things they used to only describe.
