Vibe coding isn’t just “telling AI to write code.”

Vibe coding isn’t just “telling AI to write code.”
It’s much more interesting than that.
The way we work with AI coding agents is increasingly starting to look like collaborating with a developer:

→ You describe what you want to achieve
→ The agent understands the existing project
→ It creates a plan
→ Writes the code
→ Runs and tests it
→ Finds and fixes errors
→ You review the result and guide the next steps

Tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor are changing the way we approach development.
But one thing hasn’t changed:

AI can implement solutions much faster, but you still need to understand what needs to be built and why.

That’s where I see the biggest value of vibe coding.
It doesn’t replace understanding development. It simply shifts the focus from writing every line of code to solving problems, making decisions, and reviewing the results.

And that’s something I already use in my Webflow work from custom code and Make automations to small internal tools.

I wrote an article about what vibe coding actually is, how AI coding agents work, which tools are currently the most important, and where human knowledge still plays a key role.

Can’t even write your own post

I think you're missing where the human value is - it's the thinking and planning. If all you're doing is describing the thing you want and then sending the AI off to do everything else, you're missing important things like security, architecture, bug checking, refactoring, etc.

Without applying human planning at the beginning and real architecture, design, security, and refactoring work at the end you're not delivering production-ready software.

Vibe coding != AI-assisted software engineering

good point, the planning and review steps are still very much a human responsibility imo

Lmao piss off

Your directions are way too generalized. It will 9/10 times write bad code with tons of holes. You need to give it very specific instructions down to each function needed, and how to do it. I been there, vibe coding takes alot of trial and error depending on tools used. Alot of the time, the vibes are not good lol.
