It's a crutch. Some perspective introspection questions: Is it really boosting your productivity? If the LLM can do most of the nonsense being asked of you, maybe it is time to consider a new role with more challenge and skill required?

Mid career is the time to take on larger projects or deeper technical fixes/augmentations now that you have a solid foundation of skills. Without this kind of experience you'll be one of those "seniors" that has the title because of tenure, but not because merit/skill.

I am undiagnosed ADHD and vibe coding just kills the magic. No longer am I in control. Can't achieve flow if I am not the one actually doing the work. Vibe coding is really being a ((n) engineering, project, etc) manager and that takes a different, uninteresting skill set plus patience to deal with the computer's fuck ups. I refuse to vibe code at work (fintech). Hell, I can't even use the LLM autocomplete nonsense in Intellij because it confabulates API like a motherfucker.

While the thinking sand is amazing relative to unskilled, for those of us that know better, it is a really shitty junior dev that sometimes can't even write code that compiles and will randomly fuck up other working code. And I just don't have the time or the patience to deal with that shit.
