Y'know what, I'm gonna rant a bit more; there's supposed to be a bit of nuance for genAI in coding in any capacity (not just vibe coding) but I have a counterpoint GenAI in coding can make you faster. But it doesn't make you more efficient.

You're faster to do the task, ok. You're also faster to make a bad decision. To not think things through as you're making them cause you didn't stumble on the edge case. Cause you didn't see that reference to that other script that made you reconsider the design.

How will you quickly revert the logical/design errors that you quickly made? With more genAI. By which point are you not dependent on it? Do you not accumulate technical debt every time it generates a snippet? Don't you have to spend time to understand what it outputs or will you ask it once more?
