There's more to it than just coding Vs building though.

For a long time in my career now I've been in a situation where I'd be able to build more if I was willing to abstract myself and become a slide-merchant/coalition-builder. I don't want to do this though.

Yet, I'm still quite an enthusiastic vibe-coder.

I think it's less about coding Vs building and more about tolerance for abstraction and politics. And I don't think there are that many people who are so intolerant of abstraction that they won't let agents write a bunch of code for them.
