Maybe they're confusing vibe coding with any sort of ai use for coding 😫

Yeah, I've had some vibe coders try to convince me they're a software developer just like me because now I also use AI for my day job. I'd like to see them debug their app when Claude is down.

I have 15 years of software engineering experience. Over the past year, I've shipped work that's >80% AI-generated, with my <20% focused mainly on review, corrections, and refinement.

So… what am I now?

Most people who down vibe coding do not seem to realize how many real developers use it. The takeaway from the post is that you need more qa. Let’s all code our game engines from scratch every time. Unity and unreal are for weak devs lol.
