Let me be upfront about something: I was skeptical of vibe coding for longer than I should have been.

The name didn't help. "Vibe coding" sounds like something a startup founder says right before they demo a product that crashes. And the early discourse around it was exhausting — half the takes were "AI will replace developers," the other half were "this is just fancy autocomplete," and both camps were missing what was actually interesting about it. What changed my mind wasn't a blog post. It was watching a project manager on my team — someone who could barely write a api call — build a working internal dashboard in an afternoon using Claude Code. Not a perfect dashboard. Not one I'd put in front of customers. But real, functional, connected to our actual database, doing useful things. That took me a while to process.

So here's what vibe coding actually is, what it's good for, and where it will quietly wreck your project if you're not paying attention.
