> You provide guidance

For that you need to actually read the code and it's somehow in odds with the whole vibecode idea.

Plus it won't give you the 10x boost the management expects. Only not looking at the code will.

How do you suppose project leads, principal engineers, EMs provide guidance? You don’t have to read the code being written by entire teams/departments for that.

They don't. They manage highly autonomous very well educated senior engineers, who can do the work autonomously. LLMs can't, they are closer to interns with dementia (and occasional genious revelations).
