The vibe coder's career path is doomed


Let me get one thing out of the way immediately: LLMs are helpful. This isn't about whether LLMs can write code.

I set up the full AI coding workflow: Claude, Playwright and Postgres MCPs, multiple agents working on different branches and comprehensive documentation files. Claude was updating schemas, writing endpoints, clicking buttons in Chrome, checking Postgres data and opening pull requests. Since I see no clear path to this happening any time soon, my bet is that we're actually much further away from this scenario than AI companies want us to think and they keep making extraordinary claims to raise more funding.
