> Another way to look at this is you’re outsourcing your understanding to something that ultimately doesn’t think.

You read this quote wrong. Senior devs outsource _work_ to junior engineers, not _understanding_. The way they became senior in the first place is by not outsourcing work so they could develop their understanding.

How about a CEO delegating the work to an Engineer ? CEO does not understand all the technical detail but only knows what the outcome will look like.

I read the quote just fine. I don't understand 100% of what my junior engineers do. I understand a good chunk, like 90-95% of it, but am I really going to spend 30 minutes trying to understand why that particular CSS hack only works with `rem` and not `px`? Of course not - if I did that for every line of code, I'd never get anything done.

You are moving goalposts significantly here -- a small CSS hack is a far cry from your docker infrastructure.

I have been coding 10+ years, surely it is fine for me to vibecode then?

Only if you don’t mind what comes out :)
