> it won't replace every programmer

Of course it won't, but work is getting too demanding.

* management assumes work X shouldn't take 20 days anymore - they're partly right, if you do full vibe-coding you get result in 1 day

* depending on which part of the spectrum you went with (full vibe coding, complete manual, somewhere in between) - you understand that problems are getting accumulated, it is on you to prevent them or do rework in the future - I have been in many companies where rework is difficult to justify, its easier to prevent mess going in to the codebase, but not anymore, now leadership wants things to be delivered faster, and they ask to postpone quality work (because they are not responsible when things go down)
