There are certain things you can leave running for a while. I think the distinction between vibe coding and hitl based coding routines will blur as workflows prove themselves and models become smarter and less expensive. Most of the best engineers I know have transitioned a lot more into vibe coding this year. The possibilities are much better nowadays.

There's far less need for what the author refers to as frontier models as soon as you move away from vibe coding to filling in the gaps that you don't want to write yourself. The author doesn't even consider Gemini models to be frontier.

> models become smarter and less expensive

That's optimistic. They might become smarter but I don't see any market forces in the next few years that will make them cheaper.

Gemini models are great. They’re just not good at coding. I use them all the time.
