Partners, not gatekeepers.
Developers and vibe coders are better together. You bring the problem and the users. They bring the judgement about building it to last.
What you bring
Deep knowledge of the problem
Direct access to users
Fast, cheap prototypes
Real examples and test cases
What they bring
Architecture that scales
Security and edge cases
Knowledge of existing systems
Code that others can maintain
Bring a prototype and a question, not a demand.
