I’ve read this idea recently that code quality isn’t that important, since the cost of throwing away a file and rewriting it is now super low.

Can totally see that being true.

That said, a good suite of regression tests helps you keep that lovely vibe coding velocity

Agree. I’ve always explained this as “encapsulated badness”

If a function goes on for 400 lines (not ideal but an example), that can be fine as long as
- there is a clear input / output interface 
- tests are in place to ensure desired functionality

Clean code isn’t just pretty files and lines, it’s also about systems thinking

think interfaces/abstractions matter the most - then it matters less what’s underneath & you can test on behavior

then code quality becomes a trade off for what the org needs at the time and you can safely vibe behind the abstractions
