I vibe coded for a while (about a year) it was just so terrible for my ability to do anything, it started becoming recurring that I couldn't control my timelines because I would get into a loop where I would keep asking AI to "fix" things I didn't actually understand and had no mental capacity to actually read 50k lines of LLM generated code compared to if I had done it from scratch so I would keep and keep going.

Or how I would start spamming SQL scripts and randomly at some point nuke all my work (happened more than once)... luckily at least I had backups regularly but... yeah.

I'm sorry but no, LLMs can't replace software engineers.
