Am I a "vibe coder"?

A developer with 16 years of professional experience, including founding startups and working at large companies, questions if they are a "vibe coder." Despite a long career, they haven't written code in 2026, relying instead on personal tooling, testing infrastructure, and AI agents for code review and development. They dedicate 50-75% of their AI usage to building personal infrastructure and projects, acknowledging that this reliance makes them worse at coding without AI, a fact they don't seem to mind.

This developer's account is unique in detailing how a seasoned professional has shifted entirely to AI for coding and review, unlike typical discussions focusing on AI assistance.
