I think the problem with vibe coding though is it’s not bi-directional, like if you have deep domain knowledge, unless you know how to code, how do you know that the code it just created actually does what you want it to, especially as it gets more complex and your new code changes old code. You could ask, but the devil is often in the details, especially if your domain is highly technical.

I believe that problem can be solved, and will be with the correct new tools.

I think a new type of "low-code" programming language will evolve tailored for domain experts that don't know coding, but understand how to guide an LLM.

The development environment should be a crossover between a project-management tool (Jira or Azure devops style) with literate programming: something that allows organising all the separate parts that compose the program in a way understandable by the human and the AI bot.

Online notebooks are a good first step in that direction, in special the "reactive" kind where the runtime logic does not depend on the order you change things in the page.
