The author argues that relying heavily on AI for coding, termed "vibecoding," is akin to consuming fast food – quick and easy but ultimately unsustainable and unhealthy for long-term software development. While AI can be useful for mundane tasks like generating boilerplate code or performing code reviews for minor errors, it should not be treated as a source of wisdom or a replacement for human expertise. Over-reliance on AI risks producing codebases that are poorly designed and difficult to maintain, potentially devaluing human ingenuity and artisanal software development. AI
