Vibe coding offers fast prototypes

Guillermo Rauch - X

Statements like these make me think how fast technology moved in recent years.

We can go from image to "something working" in minutes.

But at the same time, what are we loosing in the process?

The output is not the only outcome, there's so much to learn in the journey.

I'm a big fan of these tools, v0 for instance is one of my favourites, but I can't unsee the risk of considering "ready", what it produces.

While clicking one button, did they understand the use case and all the requirements needed by the client?

Did they identify edge cases or problems with the requirements.

Did they stop, think, iterate over the needs of users?

So much goes into the human thinking process. We use it to learn, to better understand what we're doing, to remove the noise of needless features.
