Vibe coding is fine for code you’re going to throw away, and most of the fighting about it is really people disagreeing about which code that is.

Last month I needed a script to pull a CSV off a shared drive, reshape three columns, and push the rows into an API. I described it, ran what came back, fixed one wrong column name, and never read the rest. It worked. It ran twice and I deleted it. Reading that code line by line would have cost me an afternoon and bought me nothing.
