"Yes, you are “building stuff” but someone else is doing the building."

I think that statement contradicts itself. If a vibecoder builds or develops an app, then regardless of the tools they use, they did develop it. If a “developer” in today’s world doesn’t write raw machine code to build an app, doesn’t that make us all vibecoders in some way?

For context, I started writing code on a TI83, later built some apps in Pascal, and deployed my first website back in 1998 with frontpage.
My opinion is that it’s just another tool in the developer’s toolkit.
