Vibe coding is about to create more work for software engineers than anything else in the last decade.

Not less.

More.

Because “just let the AI run it” works…

Until it doesn’t.

Here’s what people are missing.

When AI writes the code, runs the migration, executes the command — it does exactly what you ask.

Even if what you asked was stupid.

Even if you didn’t understand the implications.

Even if the command wipes your entire production database.

We’re about to see a wave of engineers hired to:

• Fix broken AI-generated systems

• Untangle unreadable auto-written logic

• Recover from “quick” automations

• Add guardrails to prevent silent disasters

Vibe coding is the new FAFO.

The faster non-technical founders move,

the more technical debt engineers inherit.

The irony?

AI doesn’t remove responsibility.

It amplifies it.

Senior engineers who can:

• Audit AI output

• Architect properly

• Spot risk instantly

• Design safety layers

…will become even more valuable.

Trust AI.

But verify everything.

Especially anything that can run destructive commands.

Because “it worked locally” is about to become the most expensive sentence in tech.
