A response to Steve Krouse's "Vibe code is legacy code", while I respect the concern about maintainability, I think the real risk isn't AI-generated technical debt, but the opportunity cost of not adapting fast enough.

The engineers who will thrive aren't those who maintain perfect understanding of every line. They're those who develop what I call "the adaptation advantage", knowing when to dig deep and when to trust the process and iterate.

This connects to broader themes about how AI is creating a skill gap between those who see it as a tool to amplify capabilities vs. those who see it as a threat to their identity.
