Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work


A field guide to responsible AI-assisted development

Many early vibe-coded projects look good on the surface (“it works, ship it!”) but hide a minefield of issues: no error handling, poor performance, questionable security practices, and logically brittle code. Until AI can reliably produce simple and clearly structured code (which it’s not always incentivized to do – sometimes it’s overly verbose or oddly abstract), a human touch is needed to keep things straightforward. In the end, perhaps the ethos should be: “Move fast, but don’t break things – or if you do, make sure you know how to fix them.” Leverage the vibes to code at light speed, but back it up with the solid bedrock of engineering excellence.
