This analogy has always been bad any time someone has used it. Compilers directly transform via known algorithms.
Vibecoding is literally just random probabilistic mapping between unknown inputs and outputs on an unknown domain.
Feels like saying because I don't know how my engine works that my car could've just been vibe-engineered. People have put 1000s of hours into making certain tools work up to a give standard and spec reviewed by many many people.
"I don't know how something works" != "This wasn't thoughtfully designed"
Why do people compare these things.
