I do not agree with that statement.

> Leadership asks for vibe coding

Leadership always asks for more, better, faster.

More and faster, yes. Almost never better.

You always have to review the code, whether it's written by another person, yourself or an AI.

I'm not sure how this translates into the loss of productivity?

Did you mean to say that the code AI generates is difficult to review? In those cases, it's the fault of the code author and not the AI.

Using AI like any other tool requires experience and skill.

I suggest you upgrade your code review skill. I find it vastly quicker in most cases to review code than write it in the first place.

Anyone can skim code and type “looks good to me”.

Stating something with confidence does not make it automatically true.

I've seen AI create incorrect solutions and deceptive variable names. Reviewing the code is absolutely necessary.
