Yeah. I've been finding a scary number of people saying that they never write code by hand any more, and I'm having a hard time seeing how they can keep in practice enough to properly supervise. Sure, for a few weeks it will be OK, but skills can atrophy quickly, and I've found it's really easy to get into an addictive loop where you just vibe code without checking anything, and then you have way too much to review so you don't bother or don't do a very good job of it.
It’s a useless skill to keep sharp. It will never again be important. It’s like the electrical engineering professors who insisted we needed to understand how the circuitry worked in order to be good programmers. We didn’t.
