If you know how to program, vibe coding is useless. It only ever can produce worse results than you could've made yourself, or the same results but with more effort (because reviewing the code is harder than creating it).

Depends on what you're doing. I've found it extremely useful for creating the boilerplatey scaffolding I'm going to be copying from somewhere else anyway. When I actually get into the important logic and tests I'll definitely write those by hand because the AI doesn't understand what I'm trying to do anyway (since it's usually too novel).
