Vibe coding is the informal practice of prompting an AI for code and accepting whatever looks right, with no shared scope, context discipline or gates. It is genuinely useful for prototypes and throwaway work. It does not scale to systems people depend on, because plausibility is not correctness and a demo is not acceptance.
"Beyond vibe coding" is our shorthand for the move to disciplined, agent-assisted delivery — see Beyond Vibe Coding.
