Not everyone can become a great engineer, but a great engineer can come from anywhere.

An engineer who deeply understands 10K lines of code > one with 50K lines they vaguely grasp. With vibe coding, the temptation is volume. The wisdom is selectivity.

The bottleneck shifted from writing code to reviewing and maintaining it. The valuable skill isn't prompting—it's having the judgment to know what code to keep.

Vibe coding works best on well-understood problems in familiar domains. Using it for novel, complex challenges will create comprehension gap that increase cognitive load.

Vibe coding crushes boilerplate and syntax (accidental complexity). It doesn't solve architecture, business logic, or edge cases (essential complexity). You still need senior engineers for the hard parts.

"Adding AI to a late project makes it later." Generating code without proper review and integration just creates a bigger mess faster. Speed isn't the bottleneck—understanding is.

If a package is not complex, imo there's no reason to install it when you can copy it into the project.

Velocity:

Augment won handily here - I was able to execute the prompt twice in Augment before the next closest competitor executed once.

Quality:

Augment beat Cursor on the margins - using full-screen views where necessary and scrollables correctly, for example

Completeness:

Warp was the only tool unable to finish the task in a reasonable timeframe. Claude & Gemini were incapable of producing a working application on the first run. Augment and Cursor were code-complete and ran.
