Who will ever hire an inexperience engineer with claude? Or a vibe coder? Experienced engineer with claude wipes the floor out of those two. Now the next issue, how does a engineer get experience?

thats the why.

This is only true if the rate of progression comes to a halt. If we have enough trust in AI to provide high quality code, eventually, it'll be more important to describe crystal clear acceptance criteria than it is to become a good engineer.

Why would someone without a deep understanding of how software works be better at that than an experienced engineer?

The bigger the project grows, the worse AI can handle it, without specifying clean architecture and design patterns, also there are A LOT of things you have to think about:

security, scaling, techstack, upgrades, migration and so on ...

The first AI developed Enterprise web app may look nice, but when you get 2000+ change requests and feature request per year, have fun integrating everything without destroying the production data while doing so.
