Why do you think vibe code isn’t good enough for real products? Just so long as you have tests that show it functions as expected, why does it matter?

I think once you are asking for people’s money you should know what is going on pretty thoroughly. But that’s just my two cents :)

>> Just so long as you have tests that show ...

this by definition filters out all non-devs, even many junior devs as you need to understand deeply if those tests are correct and cover all important edge cases etc.

+ when you deploy it - you need to know it was properly deployed and your db creds are not on frontend.

But mostly no one cares as there is no consequences to leaking personal data of your users or whatnot.

I think vibe coding isn't quite good enough for real products because I usually have 4 AI agents going non-stop. And I do read the code (I read so, so much code), and I give the AI plenty of feedback.

If you just want to build a little web app, or a couple of screens for your phone, you'll probably be fine. (Unless there's money or personal data involved.) It's empowering! Have fun.

But if you're trying to build something that has a whole bunch of moving parts and which isn't allowed to be a trash fire? Someone needs to be paying attention.
