Vibe Coding: Conversational Software Development — Part 1: Introduction

Jul 30, 2025 · Gaurav Gaur

Thank you for the thoughtful comment!

This fast-changing space, but from what I have observed currently you are right. Having an oversight from a senior developer is still needed when it comes to production deployments unless you are building something dead simple. I don’t think we are yet at a stage where we can use AI tools for architecture, performance, security, and long-term maintainability.

What I have seen that AI tools are good for prototyping, exploring options, and even unblocking early-stage ideas. For example, consider a product manager or business analyst or UX team trying to pitch a new epic or feature to business. They can describe what they want and generate some starter code or wireframes. They can quickly iterate, and experiment based on feedback.
