My definition of vibe coding is coding without review (for example, a non technical person vibe coding something). In the hands of a competent engineer the AI tools do boost productivity.

But even there, there is responsibility capacity, you can't have an engineer maintaining large numbers of systems at once, so if you moved fast you can still get yourself in trouble even with technical review.

I'd argue that doing vibe coding without a competent engineer reviewing the work is likely to have worse outcomes than drafting your own legal documents without consulting an actual lawyer.

Both are likely to result in nasty surprises in the future.
