Funny cause my experience is completely the reverse. I’ve seen a ton of medium level developers just use copilot style auto complete without really digging into new workflows, and on the other end really experienced people spinning agents in parallel and getting a lot of shit done.
The “failed tech business people” are super hyped for ten minutes when cursor gives them a static html page for free, but they quickly grow very depressed when the actual work starts. Making sense of a code base is where the rubber meets the road, and agents won’t help if you have zero experience in a software factory.
I think the appeal is that they already tried to lean to code and failed.
Folks I know who are really excited about vibe coding are the ones who are tired of not having access to a programmer.
In some of their cases, vibe coding is a good enough answer. In other cases, it is not.
Their workplaces get to find out later which cases were which.
