I was retired before the current "AI boom", but Visual Studio and the like were ubiquitous. The company I worked for tested developer applicants on a whiteboard - no auto complete, no documentation, etc. If one failed the whiteboard part of the interview, they weren't hired. I've talked to some of my former peers and they tell me that the whiteboard part of the interview continues and that those oriented towards "vibe coding" almost never make the cut. If they can't articulate a solution to a stated problem and outline a skeletal solution, they aren't hired. Personally, I don't care how effective one is at prompt construction, if they don't know how to design a solution, articulate it to a broad audience, etc., they have no business being hired. I realize many likely disagree and that's okay. Vibe coders could become this generations script kiddies.
