My thoughts about this just clicked. I have seen a bunch of cases of professed non-programmers building pretty big things entirely by vibe-coding, and they work fine. This allows people to participate in creation without years of training, and in the end that is not a bad thing
There are a bunch of other systems like this, that allow non-experts to simulate being able to do the real thing. Playing a shooter with aimbot. Playing guitar with 3 chords. Driving automatic.
These are all perfectly good things that allow amateurs to match the performance of experts, and none of them are bad things. But if you don't take the hit and switch over to the real thing sooner or later, you'll be a novice forever.
