What’s The Problem With Vibe Coding? [Honest Review]

You’ve seen it: people chatting with an LLM, copy-pasting whatever it spits out, and calling it “coding.”
Some even call it vibe coding – building apps purely by “prompting” and “vibing” with the AI.

We just dropped a deep dive into this trend, especially how it’s playing out in AI-assisted web app development (think Copilot, GPT Engineer, etc.).

TL;DR:

  • Yes, it’s fast.
  • Yes, it’s fun.
  • No, it’s not software engineering.
  • And if you don’t understand your own code, you’re not building – you’re gambling.

We cover:

  • What “vibe coding” actually is
  • Why people love it
  • Where it completely falls apart (debugging hell, tech debt, unmaintainable messes)
  • When it does make sense (prototyping, solo hacks, MVPs)
  • How it fits into the bigger AI/LLM trend

🔥 This is a no-BS take — not hype, not doomerism.
