As a CTO/fractional CTO: vibe coding is a tool. Just like any other tool it needs a why and processes. Simple. You use claude code? Cool, so do I. Just make sure you do security and code reviews a lot. It's that easy. I vibe coded bookcall.io in two weeks without writing a single line of code. But I directed architecture, reviewed the code, did the typical security reviews you need with supabase (like the schema being public, public user database etc). Then I made sure that the architecture (I always use hexagonal architecture and use cases to encapsulate features and reduce fragility) enables this workflow and scales. And a lot of manual debugging and guiding. The work is just shifted. That's all you need to know and do.

And if you're metric is LOC you're not doing well. If any of your metrics are not business oriented you're not a CTO. Code and software are means to an end.

This is an article of questionable value written by AI itself.

The real cost of 100 lines will be when AI occasionally passes secrets, or brings new vulnerabilities, that at the scale of writing code no engineer will see.

I’d really like to know what the engineers at rocketedge think about this.

They must be quite embarassed.

> You don’t give detailed prompts. You give objectives like “Refactor the API layer for scalability and update all related documentation.” The AI agent then plans, executes, tests, and reports the results.

lol, I wonder if the author (if there is a human author behind this) ever tried this in production. I did multiple times, never worked for me. All it did is produced a tone of spaghetti code and lots of overlapping tests with medium coverage. I’ll be fine with it if I could use AI to evolve this code without ever reading and understanding it. But we are far from it as of today.

Using loc as a KPI So, some people are still stuck there

This is sad

I couldn’t tell if this article was genuine or satire, and I changed my mind several times throughout.
