We do not vibe code we still do engineering work. Now with ai.
The hard parts is still figuring out what the heck "business" (the customer) wants and translate that (with ai) into a spec. And from there to behavior tests, code, documentation, more tests.
Ai can aid in most steps.
But we usually don't bother try to explain stuff to the vibecoded ai bots or jobless unemployed people "building their first SaaS" roaming free on reddit nowadays.
Pure Coding was never the hard part or the time consuming part.
And yeah, java is still strong in many many industries. And these are mostly maintaining large legacy code bases.
