Vibe Coding Hype Overshadows Real Software Bottlenecks
Summary
Vibe coding hype overshadows real software bottlenecks, as the promise of fast code development misses the fact that validation through continuous discovery, not coding speed, is the real bottleneck, taking weeks or months to determine if changes lead to growth, revenue, or retention.
Key Points
- Vibe coding promises fast code development and no need for technical expertise, but misses the fact that coding speed was never the bottleneck in successful product development.
- Validation through continuous discovery is the real bottleneck, taking weeks or months to determine if changes lead to growth, revenue, or retention.
- Communication quality, not development pace, is often the biggest factor impacting project costs and timelines.
