Maybe you haven't worked with someone like this? You ask them to do the simplest thing and they can't. And not like, they don't know so they go figure it out, they are just like "I don't know how to do that". Then they attempt to engineer (er, vibecode) enormously complicated solutions to solve problems that aren't problems for anyone else on the team, because other folks on the team know how to use a terminal or text editor. Like I asked someone (an engineer!) to open a text editor and he said "What's that". It's truly bizarre.
