The difference between writing assembly code and Ruby code is much smaller than the difference between programming and vibe coding.

Also, companies are pressuring employees towards adoption in novel ways. There was no such industry-wide pressure by employers in the 90s, 2000s or 2010s for engineers to use a specific tech.
