the real failure mode of uncontrolled vibe coding: your codebase regressing to your worst engineer.
This is the sharpest critique of naive AI coding adoption in the article. Without proper agent oversight, code review loops, and quality gates, AI doesn't raise the floor — it lowers it by enabling low-quality code to ship at machine speed. The 'worst engineer' framing implies that unconstrained agents optimize for task completion, not codebase health.
I thought we had a very clear delineation where vibe coding is the thing where you're not looking at the code at all. You might not even know how to program.
Simon原本认为vibe coding和agentic engineering有明确界限，前者不关注代码质量，后者则是专业软件工程师使用工具的方式。
Weirdly though, those things have started to blur for me already, which is quite upsetting.
Simon表达了对vibe coding和agentic engineering边界模糊的担忧，这让他感到不安。
Weirdly though, those things have started to blur for me already, which is quite upsetting. I thought we had a very clear delineation where vibe coding is the thing where you're not looking at the code at all. You might not even know how to program. You might be a non-programmer who asks for a thing, and gets a thing, and if the thing works, then great! And if it doesn't, you tell it that it doesn't work and cross your fingers.
