Know where the tool ends.
Direct answer
Vibe coding works well for small apps, prototypes and UI-heavy projects. It struggles with complex business logic, large codebases, deep debugging, performance and security. When fixes keep creating new bugs, the app handles sensitive data or you need to scale, bring in an experienced developer.
Common limits
- Loops of fixing: each fix breaks something else.
- Large projects: the model loses track of the whole system.
- Subtle bugs: things that work in a demo but fail with real data.
- Performance: slow queries and heavy pages.
- Maintenance: code nobody understands.
What to do
- Keep the project small and modular.
- Use version control.
- Add tests for important flows.
- Learn the basics of what the code does.
- Know when to ask for help.
