You Vibe It, You Run It?

You Vibe It, You Run It?

“You Vibe It, You Run It?” explores the rise of Vibe Coding—writing software by prompting an LLM instead of programming. While impressive for prototyping, the article argues it’s not just “a higher abstraction” but a competitive cognitive artefact: it produces working code without helping developers build mental models. That creates risks around non-determinism, maintainability, resilience, and the slow erosion of engineering skill. **The takeaway**: Vibe Coding has real value for rapid prototypes and experimentation, but relying on it for production systems without deep ownership (“you build it, you run it”) risks fragility and technical debt. The piece urges caution, comparing it to sat-nav dependency—powerful, but at the cost of losing your own map.
