Being a dev, before vibe-coding:

Can you help me build a site like this? I will pay you $200.

Being a dev, after vibe-coding:

I built a site. It doesn't really work, but I'm really excited about it. I used up $200 worth of AI tokens, so I can't afford to pay you. Can you help me fix it?

Even worse if you live in a country like Switzerland where $200 is roughly speaking equal to two hours of your work and are already used up by that two hours bootstrap meeting you had with that surely-not-perfectionist, looking-at-every-pixel, yet very pragmatist client. Meanwhile you try to suppress the memories of the 12 hours you used during the weekend to contribute to the foss framework, you gonna use to build the client website in 2 hours.
