I think it's like super insane people think that anyone can just "code" an app with AI and that can replace actual paid or established open-source software, especially if they are not a programmer or know how to think like one. It might seem super obvious if you work in tech but most people don't even know what an HTTP server is or what is pytho, let alone understanding best practices or any kind of high-level thinking regarding applications and code. And if you're willing to spend that time in learning all that, might as well learn programming as well.
AI usage in coding will not stop ofc but normal people vibe coding production-ready apps is a pipedream that has many issues independent of how good the AI/tools are.
I think this comment will not age well. I understand where you are coming from. You are missing the idea that infrastructure will come along to support vibe coding. You are assuming vibe coding as it stands today will not be improved. It will get to the point where the vibe coder needs to know less and less about the underlying construction of software.
Okay, lets see how it ages. Will revisit this comment in an year and get back to you. I still stand by the fact that its a pipe dream until proved otherwise. As I said, the issue is not just w/ the tools or infra, the entire conept of "code without knowing code" is flawed imo but lets see how it plays out.
