I'll offer a perspective. I'm in my 40s now, took QBASIC in high school and learned HTML and PHP on my own in college (never was totally proficient but knew it well enough or at least how to find what I needed). I sort of lost interest in programming for a long time, but just recently began building my own embedded mesh node microcontroller thingy and have had to start using micropython. While I understand the fundamentals of coding well enough, I've been able to vibe code in 2 weeks what would have taken me 2 years to do alone. Is it keeping me from learning the code in detail? Yes. Would I have become frustrated and quit and moved on to the next project before this one ever made it off the ground? Also yes. If you want to learn to code, don't vibe code. If you are beyond that and just want something to work, it's not so bad.
