There’s a huge difference between does it work vs is it elegant.

As a software engineer I have been strict on making sure my code is elegant.

Vibe coding has switched me to product (and project) manager. Why would I care about what the code looks like? Does it work!? Does it do what I want? Does the app have the right UI and UX? These are my concerns now. I rarely look at the output code.
