In the age of generative AI and auto-complete-everything, a new pattern is emerging across the web industry: vibe coding.
It’s like using the Force — you close your eyes, trust your instincts (or your AI), and just build. A few sentences to an AI model and a sense of direction.
It sounds cool — even powerful. For many, it is. But behind the wizardry is a serious question: are we building smarter and faster, or just drifting closer to the dark side of technical debt?
What Is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding is the practice of writing or shipping code based more on instinct, AI suggestions, and or “what feels correct” than on understanding the entire code, or formal architecture. It’s the “trust the Force” approach to software development — you’re feeling your way through the flow, trusting that the tools (and your gut) will guide you to the right outcome.
