Don't Bother with Vibe Coding

vibe coding 2025-04-02 Vibe coding is everywhere nowadays, ever since Andrej Kaparthy from OpenAI coined the term on X. Silicon Valley is already jumping on the trend and hiring Vibe Coders.

This also means that vibe coders won't be able to document their code or set up independent tests, let alone have any knowledge about the surrounding infrastructure needs and CI/CD setup. I've also sometimes let AI do quite heavy lifting; for example, the frontend for my latest weekend project, SquadUtils, was done almost entirely by Claude. Put it into the hands of someone that just graduated a coding bootcamp two weeks ago, though, and you'll pay the price down the line once the initial velocity wears of.
