Precisely. Unreviewed vibe coding is never going to scale. In the best case, if it works at all, performance issues will persist. In the worst case it could have bugs that will silently destroy data, also create innumerable security vulnerabilities. Future AIs may resolve these limitations, but current AI is not there yet.

To me, coding is a process of learning and discovery, of perpetually preparing me to develop something even better next time. Just as a developer wouldn't be using libraries if they weren't well written, the same logic extends to applications.

I can definitely see poor programmers rely on unreviewed vibe code, and I guess they have nothing to lose, but I don't imagine anyone actually using their output. It's like trying to resell an AI generated image; there is just no market for it after the initial generation.
