It might not be so much of a peer pressure than “industry pressure” soon. You can keep hand-crafting it all you want as a hobby, but selling your crafts will be totally different matter
Industry consists of humans, humans can change this collectively. It's still peer pressure. If you don't resist, don't complain.
You won't be able to sell your craft, correct. That means keep your day job. If your day job requires vibe coding, then that becomes your day job. If you don't like it, quit. Live on the street and by your moral beliefs. Or else, sell your soul.
That's the stark choice that plenty of folks have faced and will face. There is nothing special about being a coder anymore - welcome to the factory floor.
AIs aren’t magically writing good code. I still have to prompt the biggest model towards a coherent design. DRY code isn’t their strong suite. They don’t give a shit about maintainable human readable code.
RLVR training rewards for achieving some objective. Even if they achieve by writing 1000 lines when a 100 suffices.
There’s a ton of value in writing maintainable code for a complex production system.

AIs are great at POC YOLO coding.
