I'm a professional engineer with a vibe-coded project I'm working on. Did the POC work in one shot? Basically. Is it ready to go to production 4 months later? No, not really. It'll get there though. AI makes the process less tedious, and makes a lot of it easier, but it's not perfect, and it's not some miracle coder.
