Vibe Coder vs Software Engineer | Yusuf Aytas

▤ Summary

The article draws a line between vibe coding and software engineering by focusing on responsibility, reviewability, and long-term ownership. It argues that AI can speed up prototype creation, but production software still needs safe merge standards, narrow changes, tests, rollback planning, and clear accountability. It also stresses that engineers must bring domain context and judgment, not just generate code quickly. The piece warns that AI can hide learning gaps for junior engineers and that teams should use AI differently in discovery than in delivery.
