Have you ever felt a little stung when someone called what you do “vibe coding” as if decades of craft just became optional?
In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss why the rise of vibe coding as a term says something important about where software development is headed.
Aaron makes the case that vibe coding trades long-term quality for short-term results, like a kitchen that serves one burger fast but cannot make a second one for 27 minutes.
We also get into how AI tooling is shifting the role from writing code to reviewing and directing it, why the skills you have built still matter, and why Aaron is calling himself a software developer again.
