    OK, the cynic in me thinks that isn’t a vibe coder typing that, but someone in middle/upper management. They’ve recently fired most of their engineering teams and replaced them with (probably externally contracted at a considerably lower rate) vibe coders.

    They’re recognizing some of the problems that were highlighted when this trend started to gain traction and are now thinking of a way where they don’t need to accept being wrong in their actions, but also somehow still profit from it by only using real engineers (probably also on external contracts with shitty conditions) when it’s absolutely required.

    Maybe I’m wrong.
