Not Every Coding Is a Vibe

Look, vibe coding is great. But not every coding is a vibe. Coming from years of building products and backend services that provide critical business functionality for high-profile and demanding customers, you can’t “vibe” this. Working on these kinds of systems requires real confidence. And while LLMs are great, they’re still non-deterministic. For high-scale, high-performance, business-critical services, you need determinism somewhere in the loop. From where I’m standing, vibe coding is perfect for personal projects, internal tools, even a lot of B2C-type applications.
