Despite people yelling, vibe coding isn’t going away.

Developers whining that they can do it better and that it will ruin software forget that business always goes with the “good enough” option.

Human receptionists were far better than IVRs and “press 3 for” automation, but it was cheaper and good enough. Now very few companies have human phone operators.

SDEs need to come to terms with the fact that the value associated with human coding has been degraded. Salaries don’t just go up forever. Human SDEs aren’t going away, and 10x engineers will still be very valuable, but overall the perceived value of SDEs and their comp as a job family will likely start slide rapidly from this point forward.
