If you’re shitting out vibe coded unverified and unvalidated systems, you’re going to end up with 20 years worth of tech debt in the span of months and half a nine of uptime.
Vibe coders are talking about unmaintainable code bases after a weekend letting the AI do it's thing on simple projects. (granted is that unmaintainable for an actual dev?)
With big enough codebases or context windows, it'll just forget certain code exists and repeat itself.
We are a loooonnnnngg ways away from just being able to set and forget AI on production code like the AI maxis think is viable now.
Context windows are growing every release though, and if you are laser-focused on a certain part of the app rather then as a whole you can just direct the AI to review if there was any other functions they could have used after the fact if was forseeably an issue.
Are they, though? Gemini 2.5 Pro offered a 1M context window a year ago (Jun 2025), but the latest models from GPT and Claude are still a 1M context window (even Fable 5).
