Vibe Coding - Human Still Required

𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀.

I’ve been hands-on with Vibe Coding using ChatGPT. The results are revealing, and a bit surprising. 🤔

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, Vibe Coding is a new approach where you describe a problem conversationally to an AI and let it generate code. You then guide, test, and refine by accepting suggestions in a creative loop rather than writing every line yourself.

Sounds futuristic. Sometimes it even feels like magic.

But here’s what I’ve observed firsthand:

✦ AI can accelerate early drafts and boilerplate, but without direction, it drifts.

✦ It confidently delivers solutions that might be incomplete, misaligned, or detached from user needs.

✦ And while many developers feel more productive, controlled studies show experienced engineers using AI assistants actually take 19% longer on complex tasks (Source: Stanford HAI).

✦ Yes, junior developers and rapid prototyping gain speed. But the gap between perception and reality is real (Source: GitHub Copilot Research, Mimo).

✅ 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚 the North Star, the real-world outcomes that matter.

✅ 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙮 standards, structure prompts, and question assumptions.

✅ 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙘𝙩 as the architect, not just a collaborator.

It’s fast, helpful, and tireless, but it still needs direction, mentorship, and guardrails. 🛠️
