Personally I think caring is the resource in extremely short supply here and I don't think vibe coding has much to do with it causally. AIs are just tools - basically all of the issues the author has raised are present with human juniors too, and can be resolved quite easily with a little more guidance/interaction in both cases. I don't think AIs are universally causing people to care less about quality output, although that may be true for some people who didn't care much in the first place.

The common counter-argument here is that you miss out on training juniors, which is true, but it's not always an option (we are really struggling to hire at my startup, for instance, so I'm experimenting with AI to work on tasks I would otherwise give to a junior as a stop-gap).

Another aspect to consider is that what we used to consider important for software quality may change a lot in light of AI tooling. These things aren't absolutes. I think this is already happening, but it's early days, so I'm not sure what will play out here.
