When software developers are using AI to assist them, that's different than someone vibe coding something. It didn't sound like that commenter was promoting vibe coding.
Is it different? I'd say "it depends" because if you are letting agents write most of the code for a start you aren't developing any more and it very much is vibe coding. If they are reviewing and testing properly and not just taking the AIs word for it then fair enough, but I'll bet time pressures and human laziness reduce the effectiveness of that.
Also, how are junior coders going to learn the craft to get good enough to make proper use of AI, they certainly shouldn't be using it heavily fir the same reason kids aren't given calculators in maths class to start with.
Yes, I think we're in agreement here. This is exactly what I'm saying
