When coding the old-fashioned way, you were using automation as well, one example being the compiler. Still, if one is not even scanning the diffs anymore, I'm OK with not calling it "coding" anymore. We could call it "vibing" instead. But that's just words, the underlying activity is the same: creating and evolving software. That still takes skill, it's just at another level, and it's all about knowing how to use these... tools. This is what they are. A naive vibe coder is just (still) unskilled at using them and the results will be correspondingly limited.
