Person that can say if ( sSmeUngdlyVarName.equalsignorecase('test string') ) {
ListVryViabNameForlst.add(sSmeUngldyVarName); } Faster than I can type it?
Or they are just script kiddies.
Worse, they're vibe coders.
The big secrets they're keeping from their coworkers are things like adding "and make sure there are no bugs in it" to the end of their prompt.

Even vibe coding 🤮, you'd be faster typing.
Some people are phenomenally bad typists. Even some people who use a computer all day
When Vibe coding the slowest thing is reading the code produced. If you review the code though everything grinds to a halt. I've vibe coded a feature or two. It took 1 day to vibe code and another week or two to properly review the code it wrote.
The industry 'secret' is that no one gives a shit. Claude has like two 9s of uptime.
