Uday contrasted vibe coding's idea-first approach with real coding's architecture focus and said skill lies in choosing between them. MadVincent called vibe coders cooked in a thread. Wahab replied both approaches are professional. JosueNunez noted maintenance is the real challenge. Ankan said the final 20 percent of vibe coding reveals why software engineering matters.

Andres Torres Russo@antrecu@anah_sahh This is the part of vibe coding that gets interesting. The prettier the generated code becomes, the easier it can be to forget that someone eventually has to understand, maintain and own it.
KP Kartik Pandey | AI automation@Kartik_Pandey27@AnkanXplorer You're 100% right, it helped software engineer's job. It's still not good enough to give you good results just by vibe coding.
