> The second problem is that, the less human touch is there, the less consistent the mental model conveyed to the user is going to be, because a specification and collection of prompts does not constitute a mental model. This can create subconscious confusion and cognitive friction when interacting with the work.

Which is why, on the one hand, the talk about "this is replacing software devs" is going to still be premature for many use cases. Because there is more to software than just the code output.

But on the other hand, a lot of software is riddled with inconsistent mental models today, depending on its age, who the UX people were, etc. This is not something unique to vibe coded apps.
