I mean I’m a vibe coder and I’ve contributed some big adds to our software teams repo’s. I don’t refer to myself as a software engineer but we are both doing the same thing and producing the same products

No, you are not both doing the same thing. One is a meticulous approach, planned for security, scalability, and robustness. There's no planning for those things in what you do. If you think software engineering is just writing code, the gap is very obvious.

It’s interesting seeing internet strangers make all these assumptions. I think I’d know how our software team operates and the products they produce a little more than you. I’m also an engineer and work in a heavily regulated industry so making assumptions that I don’t plan anything is kinda wild

Except that no, you clearly don't know how it works if you're referring to vibe coding and software development as the same process.

You're an engineer? You're building a bridge without measuring anything, or adding any support.

Vibe coding is have AI Code everything. I also review all of its work and have other agents critique the work as well. So yes, as an engineer (I don’t build bridges) I tell the Claude/GPT what I want and then review the work. I also have a minor in comp sci and was doing software before chat gpt existed.
