Vibe coding

A checklist to run before you ship AI-written code: secrets, authentication, dependencies, personal data, licences and tests, with sources for each check.

Clear decision rules for when to stop vibe coding and bring in engineers: money, personal data, growing users, fragile fixes and questions you cannot answer.

Choosing an AI coding tool in 2026? Compare who will use it, where the code lives, how changes get reviewed, what the data terms say and how usage is billed.

The benefits of vibe coding are speed and cheap experiments. The limits are security, made-up packages and code nobody understands. A plain look at both.

A step-by-step way to vibe code your first internal tool safely: pick a small job, protect data and keys, build in small steps and decide what happens next.

Vibe coding means building software by describing it to an AI and accepting the code. Where the term came from, what it covers in 2026 and where it fits.
