Anyone can load up Claude code and start trial and erroring until they get something that works and has similar reliability to accepted software..
You still need to understand the code that AI is generating to fix the problems that you can't vibe a solution to. You still need to understand the process of developing software to know when something isn't working even if it looks like it is. You still need other people to trust the software that you created. None of those things comes naturally to vibe coders. They're essentially teaching themselves software engineering in a very back-to-front way.
Everybody learned somehow. I wonder what % of programmers actually have relevant training and education in programming vs just taught themselves with online resources.
Maybe the amateurs aren’t going to be writing a new distributed database but CRUD apps must be easier than ever
