Juice Mature :
and the truth of the matter is that...... clients don't care about the code, as long as the app is working for them and build quick they happy! the only favour you can do as a vibe coder is to learn security and infustructure

Kyle | Software Engineer :
It’s all depends on how you use it …. If you’re a software developer you know what needs to be done , and how … a lot of vibe coders don’t know what is that I need to get a specific feature done , and they let AI build it .. take this , if I want to build authentication, instead of saying to AI build me a strong authentication , I say use 1,2,3,4,5 and build me strong authentication, put this layer using 1,2 and store tokens in 1,2,3 … that’s me directing with knowledge and experience, but the first person or vibe coders who are not experienced, any output to them is good bcz they don’t know the technicality behind they only see and care about the Functionality and user interface….

Thima :
I started using the paid version 3 months ago.. I used it on an existing project i was building, it did well.. few a month later i got a client, I decided to prompt it, and it created a mess, a project structure and code implementation that was not easy to read or edit if I wanted to change something, so what I did was to lay out a foundation, create a project structure, setup authentication, and the architecture, I also created few ui pages, then prompted it to adapt from the current project structure.. reason why I did that it's because i want to able to easily make changes in the near future without struggling.. But a vibe coded doesn't care about all these things

It really boils down to the fact that LLMs lack true architectural understanding. Whether you're using a free or paid version, the output often looks functional at first but introduces massive technical debt, creating bloated and unmaintainable code that's a nightmare to scale or debug. True efficiency comes from guiding the Al step-by-step with deep development knowledge. Without that, you're just prompting blind and getting code that 'works' but is built on a fragile foundation.

Is any App you know that is in play store or App Store that is vibe coded?? Or let me ask you did ever publish any app you vibe coded and worked ?? Anyway l’m self learning coder for my businesses as l’m entering a space of preneur

As an Advanced Flutter Dev who learned it when it came out...i can u..AI is still not good on good code UI wase..its good in the Dart Language but not in the UI part... i constantly have to tell it No

I am Senior Full Stack Software Engineer. I use github copilot for backend and Claude Opus 5 in the frontend and middleware. Man these tools are amazing. Because I have extensive experience solving problems and writing code, I am able to phrase my questions properly for the tools to solve the problem for me without fail, and then I review the code, and man trust I have been blown away. The only time I had to intervene is when it debugs my code and I neef to copy the console logs and feed them back to the AI tools.

I don’t think you’ll get an honest answer 😂 Developers even criticise each other’s code during handovers. Now imagine asking them to review code written by AI 😂

sfisokuhle.mkhwanazi :
Both. AI can debug your code, but what happens when it gives you the wrong fix and you don’t understand the code well enough to notice? Debugging isn’t just finding an error and making it disappear….you need to understand why it happened and whether the fix creates another problem. If you can’t explain the code AI generated, you don’t really control the system; you’re just hoping it works. Security vulnerabilities, bad architecture, technical debt and scalability issues don’t disappear because the code runs. Use AI as a tool, absolutely, but understanding the engineering behind what you ship is non-negotiable. 🤷🏽♂️

Both. Vibe coding n coding isn’t the same thing - standards of measurement are different

B⭕️ngani M :
They are not criticising the tools or the systems those AI tools build. They criticise the fact vibe coders don’t understand how final product works and would be difficult to maintain or improve in future.

Paid. They’re good but they make stupid mistakes. And before you say I can’t prompt. You’d be surprised

we used paid products, they are not good at strategic programming, it's not about producing code.

They use free tools.

brenden.durand2 :
both paid and free let me explain. The problem with AI is context. it is getting better but at the moment the code it generates often lacks context and some focal points. For example if you tell ai generates springboot code then tell it its using the wrong version , 4 times you will get 4 answers. its mainly a context issue but again for what a dev can do with it its powerful and these are issues that will be fixed over the next few iterations.

Bhut’Lloyd :
Also the paid has to be really guided and keep driving it ai can pretty much write code but gets carried away and write something you didn't ask.

the net ranger :
ai is only good for specific tasks like write a BFS or solve css problems, you cannot rely on ai to make architectural decisions. developers don't just write code, they take into account the architecture, maintainability scale, performance and security... currently AI cannot do that

Bongani :
both are getting it wrong, but not all the time. in most cases they over complicate the logic, add unnecessary functionality or invent unrelated logic and that's when you might get yourself debugging for hours for peace of code that is not even needed. let alone too many unnecessary files. it's okay to vibe code but at least try to have an understanding as you develop your solution don't blindly accept anything coming from AI.

LesT :
both.. they create bugs, debug the code and introduce new bugs...they dont debug from a project perspective but instance.. for you as a vibe coder you are vibe coding from an end user only perspective and not technical aspect

Gumz012 :
Lol whoever says they are bad is also a vibe coder 🤣🤞🏾, they have limits yes but they are not bad at writing code. Even if they do wena your job would be to correct it because you know and you have the experience. It cuts your job in half. Real developers know that Ai was made to work with Us not replace us.
