What Is Vibe Coding and why does it need maintenance?

Vibe coding is a term first introduced by computer scientist Andrej Karpathy and describes the trend of using LLMs (large language models like ChatGPT) to create software by guiding and instructing an LLM using plain language. For example, “create a user authentication functionality”. Andrej perfectly describes¹ the process and its consequences. When vibe coding is performed with best practices and safeguards in place and is used as a tool by a software engineer, it can be a helpful assistant. On the other hand, it may lead to a code base, which is hard to maintain and expanded on, when used by non-expert developers who do not follow coding best practices and whose main objective is to generate application code rapidly. While these AI-assisted workflows can accelerate prototyping and “scratch your own itch” automations, they frequently produce:

  • Fragmented Logic: Disjointed functions glued together without a coherent architecture.

  • Inconsistent Style: Mixed naming conventions, formatting, and patterns.

  • Hidden Dependencies: Untracked libraries, magic constants, or unauthorized API keys embedded in code.

  • Limited Documentation: Minimal or generic comments, relying on the AI prompt rather than clear design rationale.

  • Hard-to-debug code.

  • Limited or no test suite.

Over time, as requirements evolve and “vibe-coded” applications enter production, these issues manifest as bugs, security holes, and unplanned technical debt—bringing growth to a standstill.

With our Vibe Coding Maintenance, you can harness AI’s speed without sacrificing code quality, security, or long-term maintainability. Let us turn your AI-driven prototypes into production-ready applications.
