First....a lot of the vibe coded stuff will break when everyone is forced to upgrade to React 19, and then 20. 😂 If you vibe React, and don't know how it actually works, you are F'd. Trash will get washed out, like always.

The clear as day difference between actual engineering and posers is that one knows how to scale, architect, and maintain over long periods of time as well as pivot, and those who can't won't, well, they don't. If you don't understand the fundamentals you'll get wiped out anyway just like in every tech boom.

Taste matters as well. A lot of bad taste floating around and fakin' it till you make it even on the UI/UX side will catch up eventually.

AI is great at boilerplate, but boilerplate is not the next billion dollar breakthrough. Humans still have to make the final judgement call on AI output, solve hard problems that haven't been solved yet and develop creative new things, with the assistance of AI.

just my 0.02 cents
