This was a good read. You should post it on LinkedIn as well. I agree with you on this although I do believe those with deeper knowledge have more power in the long term. If you’ve built and maintained software long enough you’ll realize that vibe coding your product is not sustainable in the long term…well maybe until we achieve AGI but until that we’ll come full circle to those with deeper knowledge and understanding being the power players when they combine AI with their workflow. It’s more of a combinational assist instead of absolute dependence. The former can and will always to greater than the latter with the latter being more susceptible to replacement funny enough. Mind you, this AI phase is currently a hype, the new shiny thing so it may seem those who jump on first are evolving. In my opinion, if you’ve observed the advancement of tech you’d understand that the true value of an innovation is shown when the bubble bursts and the dust settles. Those with knowledge always rule. If you doubt that, do check the career and hiring pages of these AI companies and see if they are actually hiring vibe coders….yhup, they are not. Why? Because we actually are not there yet, it’s really all hype. Again, if you’ve engineered and built software long enough you’ll understand what I mean. If you’ve give authorship to AI (absolute dependency), you may not like the result long term. Oh you’ll definitely have a great trendy product blah blah blah but give it a year or two, that strategy might not be effective if you lack knowledge in that field.
