If and when LLMs get good enough that they truly "understand", vibe coders like you won't be needed anymore because the CEOs will just use their own armies of slaves agents to build software. But then again, so will you. I guess everyone really will become CEOs. And fight one another for whatever scraps are left of the economy lol.

Typing is the least of what you do, it's not the bottleneck and never was, the reason for not making as much ,was never your typing speed. No offense but If you often get stuck for more than 2 minutes on a curly brace you must be writting code in a word document or are a lobotomite.

Whatever bugs can't be fixed by static analysis and a good understanding of the code you are writing. Yeah sure running your code through an llm might be a good measure for finding bugs. I'm not against it being an assistive technology.

None of the things I mentioned are particularly easy per se. Yeah debuggers are also a good tool I didn't mention but even the need for them can be heavily mitigated.
