The reason “vibe coding” continues to grow and be successful is that the alternative to vibe coding is not “elite engineering”. It’s: the project wasn’t born, the idea didn’t get communicated, the app didn’t ship. Elite engineering is very scarce and will continue to be in extremely high demand. (We’re hiring elite engineers!) The gap between what top engineers and agents can do still exists. Not just that.. when those people use AI, they also gain superpowers.
