I feel like there is a lot of really reductive and over simplistic arguments being made on both sides here. Vibe coding won't necessarily break your company, and rejecting AI similarly won't necessarily leave you behind. Neither the speed of development nor quality of software seems particularly correlated with business success imo. Plenty of businesses exist which either ship slower than their competitors or produce much lower quality software, often times both (hello Microsoft!). Is it crazy to think other things matter way more?

Like, is it wrong to think the variance in both velocity and quality between successful companies is just as large if not larger than the delta between AI usage and no AI usage?

What about a conservative approach to AI adoption, looking for a moderate boost in velocity but maintaining most existing quality? Would that not be ideal? Or might it depend on the specific market the company operates in?
