Episode notes
Vibe Coding Augments, Not Replaces Engineers
- Vibe coding accelerates prototype creation without replacing engineers.
- Engineers remain essential for production-grade code, reviews, and compliance.
Write A Tiny Vibe PRD First
- Do still craft a short product plan before vibe coding to clarify audience, value, and core flows.
- Keep it concise (1–2 pages) to align collaborators and produce cleaner code.
Apply Extra Guardrails For Regulated Work
- Consider compliance and rigorous code review when building for regulated industries.
- Treat vibe-coded outputs like outsourced code that requires stricter oversight.
