> I do think vibe coding can be really useful in low-stakes environments, though. I vibe-coded an Android app to use as a baby monitor (it just streams audio from a Unifi camera in the kid's room). I had no previous Android experience, and it would have taken me weeks to learn without AI, but it only took a few hours with AI.

One problem I see with "vibe coding" is how it means one thing if Ilya Sutskever says it, and another if a non-tech executive parrots it and imagines "citizens developers" coding their own business apps.
