The real shift feels like moving from “writing code” to “making intent explicit.” If the domain model and invariants are clear, AI helps a lot with mechanical work. If they aren’t, no amount of vibe coding saves time. That makes productivity comparisons kind of meaningless.

Until recently, I thought that complex, multi-domain platforms were still relatively safe. But today, I’m seriously reconsidering and thinking about whether I should switch to a “vibe coding” approach.

I should also consider isolating the custom logic in the existing codebase as much as possible, converting it into general logic, and then testing the “vibe” approach directly.
