What Is “Vibe Coding” and Is It Right for Business

May 26, 20256 min readJānis Bērziņš

The term “vibe coding” describes a new approach in which the developer mainly describes the desired result in natural language, and AI generates the code. The human guides and evaluates more than writes every line. This approach has become popular thanks to powerful AI tools, but it's surrounded by both excitement and legitimate concerns.

Where vibe coding shines

For quickly testing an idea, for prototypes, and for an MVP, it's excellent. In a few hours you can build a working demo to show a client or investor. It lowers the barrier for people without deep programming experience and lets teams iterate fast.

Where it becomes dangerous

Problems begin when a prototype quietly becomes a production system. AI-generated code without understanding often contains security holes, fragile architecture, and a hard-to-maintain structure. When something breaks, no one really understands why — because no one wrote the code deliberately. For user data and payments, this approach is risky.

A sensible middle ground

Vibe coding is a great tool for exploration and prototyping, but a production system needs a human who understands every critical part. We use AI to speed up the work, but we design the foundation — architecture, security, and data model — deliberately. That way you get both the speed and the reliability a business can be built on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build a real product with vibe coding?

A prototype or MVP — definitely. A full production system — only if the code is reviewed and understood by an experienced developer. Without that, the product risks becoming unstable, insecure, and hard to scale as soon as user numbers or complexity grow.

What's the difference between vibe coding and professional development with AI?

Vibe coding relies on AI for almost everything, with minimal human understanding of the result. In professional development, AI is an assistant — the developer drives the architecture, reviews every critical snippet, and is accountable for quality. The difference is in control and responsibility for the final result.

Does vibe coding save money?

Initially yes — a prototype can be built very quickly and cheaply. But if such code reaches production without review, the later bug fixing, security incidents, and rewrites usually cost more than proper development would have from the start.
