People are using different definitions of "vibe coding". If you expect to just prompt without even looking at the code and being involved in the process the result will be crap. This doesn't preclude the usefulness of models as tools, and maybe in the future vibe coding will actually work. Essentially every coder I respect has an opinion that is some shade of this.

There are the social media types you mention and their polar opposites, the "LLMs have no possible use" crowd. These people are mostly delusional. At the grown-ups table, there is a spectrum of opinions about the relative usefulness.

It's not contradictory to believe that the average programmer right now has his head buried in the sand and should at least take time to explore what value LLMs can provide, while at the same time taking a more conservative approach when using them to do actual work.
