I am not a software engineer but I am using my own vibe coded video efx software, my own vibe coded audio synth, my own vibe coded art generator for art. These aren't software products though. No one else is ever going to use them. The output is what matters to me. Even I can see that committing LLM generated code at your software job is completely insane. The only way to get a productivity increase is to not bother understanding what the program is doing. If you need to understand what is going on then why not just type it in yourself? My productivity increase is immeasurable because I wouldn't be able to write this video player I made. I have absolutely no idea how it works. It is exactly why I am not a software engineer. Professionals claiming a productivity boost have to be doing something along the lines of not understanding what the program is doing that is proportional to the claimed productivity increase. I don't see how you can have it both ways unless someone is just that slow of a typist.
