Vibe Coding – Are You Doing It Wrong?
Are you using AI as a true copilot, or just as a code generator? 🚀
Ever felt this? 🤯
You ask AI to generate some code, it looks correct at first glance… but hidden inside are countless mistakes. By the time you fix everything, you’ve spent more effort than if you had coded it yourself.
That’s vibe coding done wrong.
❌ Don’t:
Jump straight to “Hey AI, write me a function/use case for X.”
- AI might not fully understand your intent.
- The generated code may not be the optimal solution.
- You’ll struggle to verify it because you don’t know what assumptions AI made.
✅ Do instead:
Use AI as your brainstorming partner.
- Explore different solution approaches (and from my personal experience, in most cases AI will propose solutions that are actually better than the ones you first had in mind!).
- Pick the most reasonable option (it may take several rounds of back-and-forth).
- Then ask AI to implement that solution.
- Verify the result. If it doesn’t feel right, loop back and try an alternative.
Yes, this process takes more conversation. But it often produces cleaner, more reliable results — and ultimately saves time compared to patching broken code.
👉 So, how are you using AI when coding? Do you brainstorm first, or just let it spit out code?
