You are generalizing all llm-aided building to "vibing", which is not the case..and most engineering are based on science but they are not scientist (i.e discovering new science).

I think of a lot of people with this mindset never built anything substantial with the new tools to understand the new set of challenges with these processes and systems. It makes sense given your/their negative take on it which doesn't allow any room for exploration.

I think it is mostly pride issue honestly, because you use terms such "insult" and "real engineers etc". Some are learning and using those new tools and others are refusing given their pride. Similar to how Blackberry executives dismissed iPhone as a toy, and the rest is history.

I invite you to build something substantial with those tools on the side.
