Ask HN: Does vibe coding hurt good software engineers?

The cynical part of me still sees "vibe coding" as a marketing term, invented to paper over problems with insufficient AI-coding tools.

Still, it seems that some people who couldn't code previously, can now do...something.

But, for experienced developers who have tried vibe coding, does it actually slow you down? And does it negatively impact the quality of your code?

I'm trying to figure out whether vibe coding in its current state is really a net-positive versus good engineers. And, I'm not even certain whether it's marketed as such.

Good software engineers don't vibe code.
