Vibe coding: love it or hate it, it’s here to say. Everyone has an opinion about it and Retool’s Keanan Koppenhaver does a good job explaining the trend’s potential and risks, with developers in mind:

Where vibe coding enables non-engineers to create without learning to code, experienced engineers are freed up to focus on advanced problem solving and relieved of undifferentiated heavy lifting, such as:

• Changing the entire app’s color scheme
• Rebuilding a data table for the 100th time
• Implementing a known algorithm in a new language

Think of the flow state you could achieve, or the creativity you could harness if you could just remove these kinds of tasks from your project!

The reality, as we both know, isn’t so straight forward. Keanan goes on to lay out the security concerns, the team-wide inconsistencies, and the tech debt vibe coding can produce.
