I wonder if vibe coding might fill a similar place to 3D printers in a few years: great for prototyping or personal projects, but nowhere near robust enough for large scale production.

probably.
The dangerous difference is it’s really hard to pass off a 3d printed thing as anything but that, and scale becomes a clear bottle neck.
Vibe coding produces what many would consider production ready solutions, and can be scaled easily.
Which is why I think 3d printing has stayed very much cottage industry / hobbyist. (Which isn’t a slag, it’s great!) and vibe coders will probably replace many vibeless (??) ones.

oh I definitely agree we’re gonna see a lot of folks burned by it in the short term. “Hand coded" might start to become a real mark of quality, instead of a joke.

I’ve seen a couple of sales people say they think in-person sales are going to make a comeback as people become over saturated with AI automated sales.
It’s funny, and kind of cool, that a side effect might be an appreciation of the more inefficient human side of things.
