I mean... It takes 10 minutes of testing to know this is bullshit. At least in the near term. I've sat with an agent and played the part of a vibe coder. Not looking at the code, frankly providing more guidance and feedback then a vibe coder could, and even in a thousand line app it falls to absolute shit fast. It does get something that "technically" works, but it will collapse in on itself in no time.

The act of designing software might be changing, less writing the actual code, but someone who knows what the fuck they're doing still has to guide the ship.

"Vibe coding" with a single agent is really only a thing for small-scale projects. Really you want to be orchestrating many agents: some generating code, some reviewing, and some testing, feeding back into the generators. Cloudflare developed a clone of Next.js this way and are putting it into production. No humans in the main development loop.
