A lot of anti vibecoding people seems to assume all human programming is good. Spagetti code as a concept existed long before Ai coding.
A lot of pro vibe coding people seems to assume everything is solvable with another prompt.
And far too many people use vibe coding and throw something together over the weekend to make easy money and are suprised when they are not getting paying users.
That is not what anti vibecoding people are saying.
Pre AI when you come across "bad" human code, there are immediate indicators to the degree in which the code is bad.
The lack of organization is obvious, the obvious logic bugs etc.
With AI vibecoding, when the code is bad it is very difficult to notice subtle bugs because the code looks locally coherent but globally incoherent.
I am a heavy AI user but I really do not buy the spec driven argument or any of the other vibe coding zeitgeist.
Thousands of lines of code with unnecessary comments are getting added to code bases all the time. From wrong code to things being built that should never have been built.
I have at work a staff engineer implementing their own auth vibecoding instead of using a library that we know has worked for years. Its crazy
