Vibe Coding Speeds App Building but Demands Human Oversight
Mosh Hamedani says he built his latest project with Claude Code alone.
Mosh Hamedani posted that he completed his most recent software project entirely through Claude Code prompts and wrote no code by hand. The effort still required nearly three months. He explained that serious software work involves many unknowns that surface only during building, testing, and feedback cycles. Visible replies noted that AI tools generate code quickly yet struggle with debugging, architecture decisions, and production guardrails. One linked post discussed remaining engineering tasks around specifications and oversight once code generation becomes inexpensive.
@forgebitz they’re fast at writing code but pretty bad at software engineering

sulli1@sulli0neThis is the cleanest map of the post codegen era I’ve seen. Once an agent can generate a thousand clean lines before lunch, implementation stops being the scarce resource. The scarce resources become: knowing exactly what to build, structuring context so the model doesn’t guess,…
ED Elijah Daniel@usungurua15857@moshhamedani Software engineering isn’t going away. AI just removed the typing so the real work, judgment, architecture, and knowing what good software actually looks like.
RG Rama Gakii@Ramsey_555@moshhamedani Bro you appear to hate on AI so much, why don't you just code manually like you used to before AI and you may find peace maybe
IA I Am Goroot@iamgoroot@itsrickyszn @forgebitz It's not engineering if you're not in the loop. It's wishful thinking
TR Triode@Triode_in_situ@moshhamedani So how many unnecessary layers that AI added that you missed by not reviewing the code?
AK Ankita Kar@itsankitakar@navinramharak1 Exactly! And things always break.
