Also, many of the complaints seem more like giddy joy than anything.

The negative emotion regex, for example, is only used for a log/telemetry metric. Sampling "wtf?" along would probably be enough. Why would you use an agent for that?

I don't see how a vibe-coded app is freed from the same trade-offs that apply to a fast-moving human-coded one.

Especially since a human is still driving it, thus they will take the same shortcuts they did before: instead of a formal planning phase, they'll just yolo it with the agent. Instead of cleaning up technical debt, they want to fix specific issues that are easy to review, not touch 10 files to do a refactor that's hard to review. The highest priority issues are bugs and new integrations, not tech debt, just like it always was.

This is really just a reminder of how little upside there is to coding in the open.
