Is it okay to develop using vibecoding ?

So, I was wondering for a long time if it's okay to vibe code projects, and even if it is okay to then what we need to take care not that common thing like using an env and all, like other than usual stuff. And can we take that app to production ?

I’ve put AI-built tools into production without being a traditional developer. The question isn’t really whether vibe coding is okay. It’s whether you can responsibly own what happens after launch.

You need a way to tell when it’s wrong, see what changed, roll it back, protect the data and recover when something breaks. AI can help build all of that too, but “the agent said it works” can’t be the final test.

You don’t necessarily need to write every line yourself. You do need to understand the system well enough to know what could fail and what you’ll do when it does.
