This guy keeps writing negative articles trying to wish into existence his bad call on the usefulness of LLMs. He really isn’t an expert, as he claims. Instead he cherry picks anecdotes to feed his confirmation bias.
Even if “vibe coding” is dying, there is a very real boost to the productivity of people writing software from AI based tools. That’s here to stay, even if there is a human element in working with those tools. Vibe coding is not dying, unless you reductively try to define it in very limited ways.
Vibe coding will simply be the new "no-code".
A tool for non technical people to build things within reason.
I don't know how you're trying to define vibe coding, but I would definitely put it as more of a pejorative/negative term.
I have 20+ years of coding experience, I use coding agents well, and I'm not a vibe coder.
I would also bet that vibe coding will never become good enough to replace me because the models will never have enough context window for an entire repo of a complex app. LLMs can output code for you, but coding is only part of the job.

Not really. Vibecoding is the new code-completion, where every single developer uses extensively but is so mundane that no one bothers to blog about it. You don't see blog posts on how intellisense I'd a kin to magic, or how project starter templates speed up prototyping. No, people just use them and it's so mundane they don't think twice.
