WiB is different from Move Fast and Break Things and again different from YAGNI though.

WiB doesn't mean the thing is worse, it means it does less. Claude Code interestingly does WAY more than something like Pi which is genuinely WiB.

Move Fast and Break Things comes from the assumption that if you capture a market quick enough you will then have time to fix things.

YAGNI is simply a reminder that not preparing for contingencies can result in a simpler code base since you're unlikely to use the contingencies.

The spaghetti that people are making fun of in Claude Code is none of these things except maybe Move Fast and Break Things.

Yes, which is why I listed all three.

It's not about if the vibe coding results in any of these strictly, it's that the vibe coder can claim that the low quality doesn't matter and cite any of these as support for why the low quality doesn't matter.
