The crazy thing is how many people who can write code (with or without uAI) are in fact using the LLMs in the latter "go do this" mode.

There are a lot of non-tech people using these products in this manner.

Along these lines my friend is CTO at a non-tech firm and theres vibe coding happening in one department on a project that is going to churn $1M of tokens. Head of that department told him it's OK because instead of paying a SWE annual salary, they'll just pay $1M of tokens once forever.

People don't know what they don't know about software, SDLC, support, maintenance, etc. If code was something you write once and never think about again, most tech orgs could be 75% smaller.
