Most programmers are already doing a form of vibe coding when they, for example, let an ORM write their database queries for them. I think a decent number of Rails and Django devs probably would struggle to write raw SQL queries from scratch. Mostly I see vibe coding as an extension of that, and it's not necessarily a bad thing since it lets you spend more time focusing on the actual problem you're solving rather than on implementing it.

Of course, I haven't seen a single vibe-coded thing that I'd want to spend money paying for yet, but that's probably more reflective of the difficulty of making something people want than whether or not you use vibe coding to do it.
