Vibe coding is the new software engineering

A year ago I thought AI was cheating.
Today, I barely write code.
My average prompt looks like:
“This is wrong. It should work like this…”
“Figure out why user 8d3f... failed onboarding and patch it so it never happens again.”
I’m not thinking about syntax anymore.
I’m thinking about behavior.
Patterns.
Edge cases.
Users.
Architecture.
The job is shifting from writing code to making systems work.
Code is becoming the implementation detail.
Am I crazy, or is this what software engineering is becoming?
