I’m still trying to figure out the role of vibe coding in my infrastructure.
Stever Robbins had a great metaphor in his post exploring this issue.
For years we’ve built our systems like bridges.
Look around you. Everything you see has been designed and engineered.
It is understood.
LLMs change that.
Now we have engines creating code that we don’t have enough time to understand.
Relying on these systems is like stepping off onto a tightrope. Will it hold? Can you stay on? And what happens if you fall?
But tightropes are cheap and easy to install. And maybe it doesn’t matter if you fall off sometimes, as long as you can pick yourself up and carry on.
I suppose the best thing is to be pragmatic.
Build, test, learn, apply.
