An open mind to what? To yolo deployment of dodgy code straight into production? Moving fast and breaking things?
> I’ve personally seen this workflow produce real production code, used by customers, in an extremely rapid feedback loop.
Yes. I've seen it as well. I've also seen what happens. It goes wrong.
Should the engineers building your cars, your house, all other infrastructure also "keep an open mind" to slopping up their work?
Your next words will be "I'm not working on something safety critical".
You are. Even the most basic CRUD app handling personal data of any kind of safety critical these days. Data leaks alone KILL.
An open mind to not having a knee jerk reaction to “this is vibe coded therefore it’s not production-ready.” The delta between the prototype and production is likely far lower than you think, and many engineers are sneering at the prototype without actually looking at it or attempting to spend a few weeks applying engineering discipline to bring it up to scratch.
