I have to imagine hiring someone who advertises themselves as a vibe code cleanup expert would be a dent to the ego.

Yeh, but you only need 10 vibe code cleaner-uppers per vibe coder.
And a vibe coder is a 10x developer.
You just have to mitigate the increased cost of AI API calls.
It pretty much balances out, with the obvious 20% efficiency boost - which is where everyone makes their money: companies, developers and ~~shovel~~ AI platforms... All 20% efficiency boost. Which directly relates to profit boosts. 20% line goes up!
Which also pays for the datacenters, the ~~shovels~~ GPUs, the power, the cooling and the water for the cooling. It's all cheaper, cause AI is at least 20% more productive.

Even if your vibe-coder-code-fixers turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixers... That's just another 20% efficiency boost. Basically printing money! Oh, but you need to buy more ~~shovels~~ GPUs. But that's also a win because ~~shovels~~ GPUs don't have unions or require holidays. Think of the profits! They work 24/7.
And all you need are vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers.

...As long as your vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers don't turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-vibe-fixers (I'm so lost, I think that's right).

Edit: forgot some ~~shovels~~

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

It depends on whether you're the vibe coder or the guy that just fired the vibe coder hired by your predecessor.
