are you saying that you can do a better job than frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic and Google when it comes to coding something that is free from zero days and exploits while matching its ability to ship feature at the rate a competent SWE with agents can?

not sure why you are being so cynical, lot of seasoned SWE use AI assisted development now.

I think a lot of people still have this caricature vibe coder image but competent and serious engineering companies and big and large have embraced agentic coding.

you certainly would not get hired and would come across as highly egoistical if you insisted on writing every piece of code by hand in 2026.
