As vibe coding becomes more commonplace you'll see these historical safeguards erode. That is the danger IMO.

You're right, saying you got something off SO would get you laughed out of programming circles back in the day. We should be applying the same shame to people who vibe code, not encourage it, if we want human-parseable and maintainable software.

For whom is this a danger for?

If we're paid to dig ditches and fill them, who are we to question our supreme leaders? They control the purse strings, so of course they know best.

This is a very cruel punishment sometimes used in forced labor camps. You are describing torture.
