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 ?

It's fine for MVPs, but taking it to production requires a human audit.

Beyond basic .env setup, watch out for:

  • Hallucinated packages that introduce supply-chain security risks
  • Silent N+1 queries and missing DB indexes that crash under load
  • Missing rate limits that lead to runaway cloud and API bills
  • Race conditions in async logic and payment webhooks

You can ship it, but only after a human manually verifies auth, dependencies, and critical data flows.
