I agree with this - I hear a lot of hate towards vibe coding but my experience with voice dictation and using 20 years experience in the trenches and so being very specific telling the model what to do has been, well, refreshing to say the least.
I used to pride myself of knowing all the little ins and outs of the tech stack, especially when it comes to ops type stuff. This is still required, the difference is you don't need to spend 4 hours writing code - you can use the experience to get to the same result in 4 minutes.
I can see how "ask it for what you want and hope for the best" might not end well but personally - I am very much enjoying the process of distilling what I know we need to do next into a voice dictated prompt and then watching the AI just solve it based on what I said.
