@cm0002 then an error happens and they have no idea how to fix it
I tried vibe coding with Copilot Agent mode the other day just for fun. I needed a small web UI (two forms, a handful of buttons, single page, no backend) for a hobby project. The UI was just for a non-critical part of the project. It won't see a lot of modifications, it was made from scratch, so basically the perfect circumstances for easy coding.
I'm a backend/embedded developer and while I can find my way around FE code, I don't know anything about which framework is currently hype and I didn't really want to get into learning all that for just a very simple little hobby tool.
Vibe coding kinda mostly worked.
But that's where the positives end.
If this was a real product that was to be maintained for a longer period of time this would be horrendous to maintain.
