The spam angle is interesting but the bigger problem is vibe-coded API changes that silently break downstream consumers. Someone generates a new endpoint, renames a field, changes a response shape — and nothing catches it because there's no schema diffing in the CI pipeline. Silent breaking changes in internal APIs are way harder to catch.

I think the craft isn't gone, it's shifting. I use three different AI coding assistants depending on the task, and the skill is knowing what to ask for, how to review what comes back, and maintaining coherence across a codebase that multiple models have touched. The craft is now in system design, specification, and verification — not in typing the code yourself.
