> get the encouragement and space to independently develop the experience they need to break out of the "vibe coding" phase?

I wonder this too, as someone who is entirely self-taught, when I started escaping “tutorial hell” was the hardest part of the journey, and took quite a bit of both encouragement and sheer willpower. Not sure I would have ever went beyond that if I had LLMs.

I worry for Juniors, and either we’ll need to find a way to mentor them past the vibe coding phase, or we hope that AI gets good enough before we all retire.
