Heard at #Devconf2025 (maybe paraphrased, I can't remember the exact words): remember, #VibeCoding was *not* intended for people to use to produce production-ready software; it was intended for developers to use to quickly play around with and learn new tech and new techniques, etc. And you were *certainly* never meant to just take what your favourite LLM spat out, paste it as-is into your IDE, run it and deploy it into a mission-critical application. You're supposed to tinker with it, understand it, modify it, use it to practice and learn.

And for that purpose, it is perfectly fit.

But it's the same thing with StackOverflow, right? How often do you copy code out of a SO answer and just use it as-is without giving a thought to how it actually works? And how many times, as a young developer, have your seniors told you that you should *never* do that? :P
