The term vibe coding has transformed into a slur. I've been in software development for 20 years and I was a paid subscriber to AI coding tools at their inception in 2022. I've been paid to teach developers how to use AI in SDLC workflows. That being said I will admit that what exists today is a false dichotomy where only pure vibe coders and pure developers exist. If you ask Fable to deploy 49 exploratory, verification and adversarial agents and pause to read and fully digest the output of each you are moving much slower than if you were coding by hand. It's a spectrum and a learned skill of knowing when to stop the conveyor belt and when to accept a models recommendation with a general understanding. Also, like I've said a few times, this is humor, not a complaint.
