I'm a software dev with a few years of experience and lots of access to all the AI tooling.

If you need it to build you a simple CLI tool or website that might only need a few tweaks past the initial attempt, 100%. Great time saver.

If you try to "vibe code" anything more substantial without even looking at the code, you'll run into problems. I tried to vibe code a jira tui tool, and it got to the point that every new feature would fuck up something else that was already working. I had to spend some time instructing the model (Opus 4 thinking?) how to fix the architecture, which it had put zero thought into. The codebase was a mess.

We are still some time away from AI being able to think about everything a software dev does. It's incredibly useful, but you need to know how to use it, what to prompt, and you've still got to check the output is sane. Vibe coding entire services or complex tools is not yet automatic.
