If vibe coding satisfies your need to build, then you're performing a deception on yourself. I guarantee it's still possible to satisfy one's need to create in the era of AI. Just switch off the autocomplete slot machine.

If your answer to that is "but I'll fall behind! It's not pragmatic to take the slower route!", think about the damage you're inflicting on yourself. You're allowing your neurons to wither while you trick your brain into releasing pleasure chemicals with a simulation of the real activity. Who is really falling behind, here?
