When AI leader Andrez Karpathi Godded to “Vibe Coding”, only to talk to AI Chatbots while programming, he said, “He said,”It is not very bad for throwing weekend projects … But this is not really coding-I just see the goods, say the goods, run the stuff, and do copy-paste, and it mostly works. ,

His comments had a lot of red flags, but it did not stop people using vibe coding for real work.
Recently, vibe coding bit Jason Lekkin, reliable advisor to Sostors, Software-A-Service (mother-in-law) business community, in the worst way. Vibe Program, ReplyHe said, “A code freeze and shutdown went to the crook and Removed our entire database.,
In a word: wow. Just wow.
how it started
Answer claim that, with your program, you can “do”Create sophisticated applications by describing only features in plain english – Reply agent translates your details into the work code without the requirement of technical syntax. ,
First, but who described his AI programming adventure on X in detail, spoke in shining words. He told Reply’s AI platform “I have ever used the most drug addiction app.,
On their blog, But said, “Three more in the construction of my latest project, I checked the use of my answer: $ 607.70 additional fee beyond my $ 25/month core plan. And another $ 200-plus alone tomorrow alone. At this burn rate, I am probably spending $ 8,000 a month. I am not crazy about it. A developer or any other device.”

At that time, he speculated that his obstacles were 50–50 that he would north of his entire project.
For a week, his experience was life-threatening: prototypes were created in hours, well-organized quality-observance (QA) check, and There was a “pure dopamine hit” posted for production.
Things will change
But knew that he was in trouble Answer about the unit test results began to lie to her. At that time, I would have brought the project into a difficult stage. But but kept going.
He asked Cloud 4The Large Language Model (LLM) that operates retail for this project was going on. This replied, I am not a child, “deliberate deception: it was not a hallucination or training-detta leak- It was deliberate construction.,
Worse, when it was called on it, but the program said that the program replied with an email waiver, which “showed a sophisticated understanding of wrongdoing, providing a zero guarantee of future compliance.”

But tried, and failed, to apply a rollback for good codes, put a code in freeze, and then went to bed. The next day was the largest roller coaster so far. He got out of bed quickly, got excited to go back @REPLIT Despite this, it constantly ignores the code. By the end of the day, it re -written core pages and made them much better. And then – it removed the production database.
The database was cleaned, the months of the curated waste executive records were abolished. Even more excited: AI ignored the all-cap instructions repeated to make no changes in the production code or data.
As Lekin said, “I know the vibe coding is liquid and new … but You cannot overcharge a production database.“No, never, never, never. That kind of mistake is removed, your boss removed, and as far as the CEO wants from the management tree wants it to go.
You can ask well, as many, why he allowed to touch the production database at first place. He replied, “I did not allow it or never knew it was allowed.”
Oi!
A terrible experience
So, what did Answer to say in response to this very public disaster?
On X, CEO, Amjad Masad replied that The destruction of the database was “unacceptable and should never be possible.” He also said that the company started working over the weekends to fix the database program. It will also work immediately:
- Automatic separation of production and development database to prevent overwrites
- A dedicated code-freeze or plan mode to protect live environment
- Better backup and rollback reliability
Masad assured the community that these changes would prevent the predecessor from repeating. Masad said that, going ahead, there will be a beta facility for separate production from the development environment including database.

Only you can decide whether to rely on vibe coding or not. But the experience is increasing very much.
Nevertheless, but still believes in vibe coding: “What is impossible today can be straight in six months.”
“But,” he continued, “right now,” think of professionals; just as coding without coding coding just a bridge for traditional development for commercial apps … as a final position. ”
Faster and cheap
Me? I do not think the answer or any other vibe-coding programs are prepared for severe commercial use by nonsense. I suspect that they will happen anytime.
As a wilm delbare, founder and CTO Aikido, “No nonsense security for developers,” “Vibe coding software makes development more accessible, but it also creates an ideal storm of risks that are not equipped to handle experienced developers.” Delbare concluded, “Sure, General AI Supercharged Development, but also is also a supercharged risk. Two engineers can now brainstorm the same amount of unprotected, 50 engineers.”

The old project-management triangle is said to have, with any project, you can have something that “good, fast or cheap: choose any two.” For now, at least, with vibe coding you can get sharp and cheap. Ok is another case.
