Vibe Coding

Vibe coding roughly means: let agentic coding get you 80% there very quickly, while you steer direction through prompts and manual fixes. It fits prototypes and design exploration better than high-assurance code without rigorous review.

Risk: technical debt if you skip tests. Combine with CodeRabbit, Cursor, Lovable, and agentic coding for different loop styles.

Key characteristics

• Describes a fast, experimental style guided by prompts and intuition rather than detailed specs.
• Works best for prototypes, internal tools, and early validation where speed matters most.
• Requires extra discipline afterward if the result must become maintainable, tested, and production-ready.
