Depends on how sloppy 2-4 junior devs are and thr overhead of managing and developing them. I think the comparison could be similar

A lot more bad logic will get by the smell test when you have 1 staff member vibe-coding. And just wait until he is held to that level of zero-test, lowest hanging fruit productivity as being "normal".

That is a good point that wasn't in the original description. I do think test engineers will become more important to ensure the generated code actually fits the requirements. We might even see the role evolving towards more of a business analyst role using LLMs to generate the tests and then adjusting/validating them based on the requirements.

The thing about a junior dev is that often times you can convince them to start/stop doing things a certain way.
