A vibe coder is more like a manager. She/he oversees the project, gives direction, sets priorities, etc. How well “the team” performs is a function of the manager’s comm skills, as well as her / his ability to delegate. This certainly makes vibe coder sound like a misleading title.
Traditional SWEs who are comfortable with delegating and communicating will have an advantage. But these two traits are not common in SWEs, or at the very least aren’t the things that inspire and motivate most SWEs.
A Vibe coder will not need to know a large number of algorithms, while a SWE needs to vchoose algorithms before he/she starts coding
I would say yes, kinda.
