I see junior devs hyping vibe coding and senior devs mostly using AI as an assistant. I fall in the latter camp myself.
I've hired and trained tons of junior devs out of university. They become 20x productive after a year of experience. I think vibe coding is getting new devs to 5x productivity, which seems amazing, but then they get stuck there because they're not learning. So after year one, they're a 5x developer, not a 20x developer like they should be.
I have some young friends who are 1-3 years into software careers I'm surprised by how little they know.
