Episode notes
Prototype Beats Endless Docs
- Vibe coding replaces long doc-and-meeting cycles with fast interactive prototypes that show behavior, not just words.
- Prototypes reduce miscommunication because a working demo is worth a thousand meetings.
Ask AI 'What Am I Missing?'
- Use AI to expand bullet ideas into stronger requirements and catch missing concerns like QA and security.
- Ask the AI explicit prompts such as "What am I missing?" to reveal overlooked edge cases.
High-Fidelity UI, Low-Trust Code
- Vibe coding lets non-developers build UI-driven prototypes using component libraries and AI that maps designs to working pages.
- The fidelity of UI can be high even when underlying code quality is not production-ready.
