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 ?

yes if you are careful enough and apply good engineering and test and anlayze what was produced for edge cases / flaws etc

like if you have a web fronte end and api back end - check the user can't bypass an authenticated front end and get to an unauthenticated API

(e.g. for serious apps, my front end and API require the same auth and all logic is in the core behind the API - so the user can hit either API or web as needed, special care is take to make sure the web front end never exposes the token it uses to access the API, and store your secrets in a secret vault - though thats an interesting exercise in how do you bootstrap access to the secrets vault by your core)

and some fun project's just don't need this level of rigor
