The thing that gets me about vibecoding is that in order to go fast, you have to relinquish the desire to understand everything / read the code thoroughly

This is good in the short run (eg. you have to ship something quick) but bad in the long run because:

1. It’s intellectually less gratifying
2. The tech debt will murder you

Vibe coding is excellent for when you have a very clear picture of what you want to create as Ai has a really bad tendency of overengineering things and writing too much code.

If you don't really know what you want you'll end up in a complete mess as ai will be forced to make those assumptions for you.

Problem is that with any project of large enough scope and speed, you will get to a point where your picture is fuzzy

So it's very good for one-of mini apps (eg. content) but not very good for large apps (eg. architecture)
