This post is a discussion of AI-Driven Development: From Vibe Coding to Structured Methodologies by Aakash Kavuru. Worth reading in full.

Vibe coding is fun. You describe what you want, the AI writes it, you ship. It works great for the first two weeks. Then the codebase grows, the AI starts misunderstanding context, and you spend more time fighting the output than building.

This is not an AI problem. It is a documentation problem you ignored because the AI made it easy to ignore. The original article puts it well: the root cause of almost every failure in AI-driven development is that “what needs to be created remains undocumented.”
