Vibes on Vibe Coding

August 21, 2025 at 5:30PM

Came across an interesting discussion about vide coding and its use and ramifications.

I thing the CEO is way off base about what makes code good. It is an opinion I would expect from a from a C-suite executive. He equates working code with good code as the measure that matters. However, I would argue that the measure for good code is a number of things including. How...

  • Readable/Understandable the code is.
  • Maintainable the code is.
  • Well the code performs its task.

Final Thoughts

I will be watching this we interest. I envision a future where...

  • Companies relying on vibes will find their code base difficult to enhance/maintain and end up doubling down on vibe tools to throw out and rewrite previous versions.
  • Thoughtful development will become more niche and highly valued by a subset of employers. Likely by smaller firms who cannot afford to armies of developers.

Happy Coding ;-)
