Frankly I believe it can be maintainable if the person doing the prompting actually does something and correctly do their role of human reviewing and correcting. Vibe coding without any review is dooming the software maintainability

I'll use an LLM to write bulk code, unit tests, other boring stuff.. but, I specifically only have it write code I'm already very familiar with, and even then, I hand-code it every so often, like 1 in every 3 times I'll do it by hand to make sure I'm still able to. If I have to look something up, then I'll stop using an LLM for that task for a long while.

Yeah, a lot of maintainability is about understanding how it works. Architectural decisions are the other half. Someone who's paying attention can do well on both of these even using AI tools.
