This is one of the big issues i have in my job. I'm on a dev team but a majority of the people around here are research data scientists. And a shitty 1000 line python script with zero regard for quality, that only really produces a bar chart as output and is never used again after 6 months is all they ever work with. And LLMs are amazing for that. But these data scientists don't seem to understand that not all software is like that. So it's really hard to have a real conversation about it.
And wouldn't you know it, these are some of the same kind of people building this stuff and pushing the vibe coding narrative.
