I completely agree with this take, and I'm saying that as someone who works at an AI company...

Vibe coding will rarely end well.

Using AI intelligently to speed up your development cycle, while understanding (and correcting) the plethora of places it goes wrong, requires a deep understanding of software engineering and architecture. Pure vibe coders rarely get this bit, and that's why it often ends badly.

I mean no offense, because I think AI can be a great and powerful tool. But it does not mean you don't need to study how good software is engineered, strictly define scope, and manage your AI like you would any other developer on the team, to ensure code quality and sane architecture.

I would say knowledge about software engineering matters more now than ever. You can’t get away with just knowing syntax anymore

Definitely. If you're going to manage development (including AI driven dev), you'd better know how the ideal software should look--and I'm not talking about UX here, I'm talking about engineering, architecture, data structures, and all that stuff that people think they can get away with not learning.

That's IMHO anyways.
