I watched your video and what you’re saying about code quality and refactoring absolutely makes sense. On the other hand, if vibe coding gives you a chance to build something you find interesting, it’s sometimes perfectly fine to move fast, get to an MVP, and see whether it actually makes sense.
Either way, it’s a cool topic for discussion.
So, ask ai for help on prompting or look up ways to prompt more for what you want or continue to practice?
PATIENT: "Doctor, when I ram my head into the wall like this, it hurts."
DOCTOR: "Stop doing that."
Seriously, it's not written anywhere that you must use vibe coding. Feel free to do other things instead:
a. Code manually
b. Code manually using a coding assistant to suggest completions
c. Use spec-driven development with OpenSpec, SpecKit, BMAD-Method, etc.
d. Use visual programming / low-code / no-code etc.
e. Use old-skool deterministic code generators that generate code from UML or some other intermediate representation
