Hot take: Vibe coding isn't the problem—how you use it is.
(For those wondering: "vibe coding" = using AI to generate your entire app with minimal human oversight)
Recently I've been seeing more news about vibe coded apps mishandling sensitive information, being prone to security issues, and being a nightmare to maintain.
It seems like people are waking up to the fact that human software engineers are still needed lol
But does this mean you shouldn't vibe code your app?
Not at all. There's still a perfect use case: prototyping.
Here's the strategy:
Simplify your app idea to minimize the risk of bad code while still allowing you to test your idea in the market.
Vibe coding saves you massive amounts of time that you can redirect to distribution and validation.
Just know the trade-off: You might have to rewrite it from scratch later.
In conclusion… vibe coding isn't bad. Just understand the limitations of the tool you're working with and use it strategically.
