I agree 100% with this and I see the writing on the wall as well. You vibe coded an app and now what? The hope is that your vibe coded app generates investor interest or quick $ but what happens when it's time to scale? It's certainly a huge trap.
Worthy information shared, now people can learn coding way more easily than what's being done traditionally, better understanding with a better planned project of building a solid foundation and workflows.
"Vibe coding," or relying on intuition and momentum without proper planning and understanding, can be a trap leading to unmaintainable, insecure, and inefficient code. To escape this trap, developers should prioritize solid architecture, thorough testing, meaningful code reviews, and a clear understanding of the problem and solution.
You nailed it in the head, Vibe coding is just a huge tech debt waiting.
With time alot of people will start seeing it for what it is. Now interesting that the likes of cursor and the rest has built a billion dollar worth company. But if they ignore security management for beginners. They will dump them. I like what you are doing with initRepo. Great idea man! Keep it up.
“That line about vibe coding being a trap hit me. What was the first sign for you that you were in that trap?”

Initrepo was born from a process I was manually doing for project development & planning. With help of AI, planning a real project takes days if not weeks. Gearing up for a hackathon I realized I can automate my process.
