AI-generated code can take a prototype from idea to working demo in an afternoon. That speed is real — and it's also where most teams stop asking hard questions.
Vibe coding is a prototyping tool, not a delivery method
Fast, unreviewed AI-generated code is great for testing an idea. It is not the same as code that handles edge cases, scales under load, and survives a security review.
The gap shows up in production
Auth checks skipped, error handling missing, and dependencies nobody vetted are common in code shipped straight from a prompt. These are exactly the failures that don't show up in a demo.
Engineers still own the outcome
AI can draft faster than any team. It still takes an engineer to decide what's correct, what's safe, and what ships.
