The bigger problem I'm seeing is engineers that become over reliant on vibe coding tools are starting to lose context on how systems are designed and work.

As a result, their productivity might go up on simple "ticket like tasks" where it's basically just simple implementation (find the file(s) to edit, modify it, test it) but when they start using it for all their tasks suddenly they don't know how anything works. Or worse, they let the LLM dictate and bad decisions are made.

These same people are also very dogmatic on the use of these tools. They refuse to just code when needed.

Don't get me wrong, this stuff has value. But I just hate seeing how it's made many engineers complacent and accelerated their ability to add to tech debt like never before.
