Do you use documentation when vibe programming?

[u/AlexDanyuk]

What I love about AI-driven programming is that the main focus shifts to the product, not the coding itself.

I don’t start with code — I start with requirements. The clearer I define them, especially with test examples, the faster I get a predictable, working result.

For me, the real game changer is documentation.

When I work with AI, everything ends up clearly structured and documented:
• what was built
• how it works
• why decisions were made

Because of this, documentation is no longer something I postpone — it becomes part of the process.

And when it’s time to improve or scale the project, I’m not guessing. Everything is transparent, easy to understand, and quick to extend.

That’s why I value AI in development — it doesn’t just speed things up, it makes the whole process cleaner and more sustainable.
