I don't understand the fascination and focus on Vibe Coding.

Sure, you can do that, it's an option, but no serious engineering effort is being left entirely up to the AI.

Vibe coding is essentially the Jackson Pollock approach to software building. Throw a bunch of paint down, with very little control, and look, we have something novel.

It doesn't mean your going to replace all the ways of making art with paint throwing.

I'd love to start seeing more discussions about alternative approaches to working with AI. The recent Vinext article was great https://blog.cloudflare.com/vinext/. This seems to be "the way" for working with AI in a high stakes production environment, but what other ways are there.

I fear the focus on vibe coding is diluting and taking focus away from far better alternatives. Maybe because the narrative around those aren't quite so dramatic?
