as long as you don't have technical debt, vibe coding is mostly useful for prototyping. For a real product, true SWE will never be replaced

Already got replaced at world top tier tech jobs. „True SWE” will be niche / luxury soon, just like real woodworking vs IKEA
Software is freely duplicable unlike wood. IKEA could be mass producing copies of the most beautiful chair in the world just as easily as it produces copies of something a 5-year-old drew in freecad.
>something a 5-year-old drew in freecad
Ikea series of plush toys based on children drawings were actually very cool. Not drawn in frecad though, just plain old crayons on paper.

Source that a big tech company replaced all their SWEs with vibe coders?
all code is technical debt
