(Not a programer) I've tried vibe coding some simple things for myself and gotten "decent" results. I couldn't imagine trying to make anything ready for commercial release. I've had to learn the basics of Python just to unfuck its mistakes...
It is genuinely useful for people with limited programming experience to write simple scripts that will never be released in the wild.
That market is way too niche to justify the billions needed to achieve that result. Companies should just have professional human coding assistants.
Same here. It's cool for drafting up a concept and I can imagine that it can help if you're stuck somehow, but that's about it.
Not a programmer either and I've never been able to get a working product out of it. Best it's done is get me like 60% of the way there and I have to finish the rest and that was rare.
