Vibe Coding Is Making Us Worse Developers

Last week, I needed to write a function. A simple one. Filter an array, map over the results, return the clean data. Basic stuff. Stuff I've written a hundred times. I opened Cursor. Typed my prompt. AI wrote the code in 3 seconds. I copied it. It worked. I closed the file. Then a junior developer tapped me on the shoulder. "Hey, can you explain how this works?" I stared at the screen. My mouth opened. Nothing came out. I had generated the code. But I didn't understand it. Not really. I had outsourced not just the typing - but the thinking. That's when it hit me. I'm not coding anymore.
