The other day I received a bug report while in the dentist waiting room. Even though I had no access to the code, based on the description I had a pretty good idea of what the problem was, and could give workaround advice, which turned out to be on the money.

I can only do this because by writing the code, i developed an organic familiarity with its working.

You’ll never get that with vibe coding. Your initial coding might go faster, but everything you do with it afterwards will be slower.
