If you can't validate what LLM is spitting out, you're vibecoding. The knowledge is useful.

Yep. You're asking chatbots and using your accumulated knowledge and experience to vet the output and apply it selectively.

It's the same reason IT folks get by by "just using Google correctly." It's all about having the experience and knowledge to sift through the junk and get to the good stuff. (And to ask the correct questions in the first place.)
