If You Cannot Explain the Code, You Will Not Work With Us
We use AI every day. Anyone who signs off on code must still be able to explain what it does, why it was written that way and what may break when a requirement changes.
Code Needs an Author
We have received CVs listing "Bolt, Replit" under skills and no programming language at all. We did not take those applications further. Tools do not replace the ability to read, verify and change the code they generate.
The Dangers of Vibe Coding in Today's Context
Generated code shipped without review moves the cost downstream: slower changes, vulnerabilities that are harder to spot and dependencies nobody can justify. The same operational risk is discussed by CIO, Kyros and Tianpan.
The first codebase we reviewed that was almost entirely AI-generated compiled without errors. A minor requirement change was enough to reveal that nobody understood which part controlled what.
Effective Alternatives to Vibe Coding Techniques
We use AI every day, but anyone who signs off on code must be able to explain it. During interviews, we ask developers what they do when the model proposes a solution they do not understand. We look for people who stop, verify and rewrite before sending it to production.
A Vibe Coder offers immediate speed with technical debt they don't even realise they've accumulated. We inherit that debt when a client calls us six months later. Code governability means every line has a responsible author, even if that line was suggested by a model. If you can't explain why you wrote it that way, you're not an author: you're a fast copier.
We declined a project built entirely this way. Nobody could explain the codebase's decisions, so there was no reliable place to begin the analysis.
