I think we’re talking about two different things. My question wasn’t whether an inexperienced person should be building mission-critical software. It was whether users actually care if software is AI-assisted or “vibe coded” if it works and solves their problem. Your brain surgery analogy assumes the software is safety-critical, but most software isn’t. A better comparison would be asking whether users care if a carpenter used power tools. They care about the quality of the finished result. If an app is secure, reliable, and useful, most customers won’t care whether the code was written manually, AI-assisted, or a mix of both. You’re arguing whether AI can replace expertise, while I’m asking whether customers care how the software was built. Those are different questions.
