By your response, it really seems like you read their first sentence as advocating for vibe coding, but I think they were saying something more to the effect of "While it's exciting to reach those milestones more quickly and frequently, as it becomes easier to reach a point where everything seems to be working on the surface, the easier it then is to bypass elegant, properly designed, intimately internalized detail—unavoidable if written manually—and thus when it comes time to troubleshoot, the same people may have to confront those rapidly constructed systems with less confidence, and hence the maintenance burden later may be much greater than it otherwise would be"

Which to me, as a professional SWE, seems like a very engineer thing to think about, if I've read both of your comments correctly.
