I think you need a balance. I’ve seen products fall apart due to high error rate.

I like to think of intentionalists—people who want to understand systems—and vibe coders—people who just want things to work on screen expediently.

I think success requires a balance of both. The current problem I see with AI is that it accelerates the vibe part more than the intentionalist part and throws the system out of balance.

Don’t disagree… I think it’s just applying a lot more pressure on dev teams to do things faster though. Devs tend to be expensive and expectations on productivity have increased dramatically.

Nobody wants teams to ship crap, but also folks are increasingly questioning why a bit of final polishing takes so long.
