Asked what actually separates a vibe coder from a software engineer now that nobody reads code anymore, @IDrawCharts delivers a punchline:
- The vibe coder has no idea why the LLM's code doesn't work.
- The engineer has no idea why the LLM's code works.
A sharp one-liner capturing the AI coding era—engineering expertise may matter less than tolerance for uncertainty. Instantly resonant AI-industry meme.
