I love this essay, and it very closely mirrors my own feelings about the topic. Thanks for writing/sharing it.

I’m perpetually bamboozled by my fellow software engineering colleagues who insist on proudly shouting from the rooftops “Look at me, ma! I’m vibe coding!” as if it’s some badge of honor to see who can churn out the greatest quantities of shitcode the fastest and completely surrender any last scraps of their cognitive abilities to the best LLM provider of the current moment.

Exactly this kind of blog posts feel human. I do think we are going to miss this sooner than we think.
