I've been evangelizing vibe coding, because we are wielding something much more powerful now than even ~3 months prior (Nov was the turning point).
Now that Prometheus (the myth, not the o11y tool) has dropped these LLMs on us, I've been using this thought experiment to consider the multi-layered implications:
In a world where everyone can cook, why would anybody buy prepared food?

I would guess for convenience and saving time. While vibe-coding might be faster, you still have to "do it". As in, think about what you want your software to do, write out or dictate your prompts, test that it works etc. That takes time (might be less time than writing it out by hand but it's still a non-zero amount of time).
I think my comment was misconstrued as siding either way. I didn't communicate it well. It's that it frames questions -- like you were exploring.
Because of course we all buy prepared foods of all sorts from street vendors to fast food to local restaurants to chains to Michelin Stars. While there are many reasons one will cook for themselves, there are many reasons one will buy from someone else too.
