People can dismiss AI coding but some of us are using it for actual products and making money from it. I have heard for two years now that I will pay the price of vibe coding as I will not understand the code when it breaks. What? I just ask the AI what the code does to understand it and vibe code to fix it. What the heck is everyone on about? Knowing syntax is about as beneficial as knowing the machine code. Who cares in 2026 other than really mission critical apps that AI is not ready for.
You're absolutely right!
Now time for some pen-testing if you don't mind sharing the links to your products.

What you are doing is the coding equivalent of not reading the manual on a new appliance. It will work, but you will get surprised. Probably not in a good way.
That is the argument many make but it is assuming that any issues that come up AI will not be able to help which is just not true. I have a top rated, multiplayer VR app and I have not written code for it for 2 years now as AI does it all. Sure issues have come up, but AI can fix as long as you guide it correctly.
