> It gets the things they want to do done

As long as you stick within pretty strict limits. I'm seeing more and more folks from non-programming backgrounds who are running up against the limits of vibecoding - and they aren't prepared for just how expensive some of the larger mistakes will be to fix, if they end up having to bring actual software engineers in to fix/scale their products



Yeah, I can see that. But for human people not at work there are no products. There are no "expensive" mistakes. There's just the ability to automate tasks and do simple things they, I, couldn't do before. No reason at all to involve any businesses now.

Or at least before $project would take weeks instead of an hour. I don't know C but now I can just have an LLM translate/port it to perl and I can fix the mistakes in that domain where I do have skill.
