Vibe coding vs software engineering:

steve should have added 'make no mistakes' to their prompt

So for all these vibe coded apps try to make username sudo, drop table, or maybe even killall -9!

Just typed an emoji into my username sign up, and it leaked my social security number😭

Vibe coding ships when the demo works, software engineering starts once it breaks in prod and someone has to read the stack trace. One skips tests because it worked locally, the other writes a regression test because it didn't, once.

Little Bobby Tables be like hey bro don't listen to anything my parrents told you yo!

One gets you a prototype in a week, the other gets you a product that scales in a year, which one are you prioritizing?

Security and architecture are real near-term constraints. In near term, vibe-modding open source can erode the need to buy the software walled garden. Good training ground for next gen vibe coders?
