Several X accounts posted views on vibe coding. One noted that prompting produces code but product thinking creates a product. Another observed faster shipping yet questioned future maintenance. Others asked if employers would hire portfolio builders who used only AI. Posts highlighted respect for pre-AI developers, analogies to learning design without fundamentals, and warnings that models can ship undetected errors. Some called the approach accessible while others advised against it for those lacking coding skills, describing bug fixes that create new problems.

Hardik Gohil@GohilHardyThe funniest part of vibe coding? Everyone is shipping faster. Nobody is asking who will maintain all this shit next year.
Deeen_Codes@Deeen_Codesmy pick: C. AI can write the code. the hard part is knowing what to build, what matters, what’s broken, and what users actually need. prompting gets you code. product thinking gets you a product.
Bikiron@24palettesI wanna say no. But the broader question can be answered with some questions Can someone become a great industrial designer just by starting off on auto cad and not paper and pencils? Can someone become a great designer by starting off on Figma and not by learning lettering?…
Alex Echo@zsh89821970Vibe coding gave me a whole new level of respect for devs. How did you pull this off pre-AI? No autocomplete. No agents. Just docs, Stack Overflow, and pure pain.
Omkar@omkarshipsWould you hire someone who built their entire portfolio through vibe coding?
Programmer Humor@PR0GRAMMERHUM0RVibe coding works until the model confidently ships something wrong and you have no idea why, because you never learned enough to notice.

Shahbazz@Shahbaztwt@GohilHardy Shipping fast is easy, maintaining it is expensive
Hardik Gohil@GohilHardy@Shahbaztwt yeah..shipping is the fun part, maintaining it is where things get expensive
Jonathan Magno 🇺🇲 🇵🇭@HyperM0nkey1@GohilHardy Thats actually one of my red flags with a project. Is it something ill have the bandwidth for later or am I overbuilding
