Vibe coding is for small, obvious additions. Not for core product decisions.
Vibe coding is for small, obvious additions. Not for core product decisions.
Vibe coding sounds like a shortcut. It isn't one, unless you've done the hard part first. The hard part is the design system. Knowing every screen, every component, every state, every token. Knowing when a feature needs a new pattern and when it can reuse an old one.
Knowing what the product feels like so you can tell, in one glance, whether an AI-generated component belongs in it. I already have all that in my head for CogniSync. I designed the screens. I set the tokens. I wrote the component library logic. That context is the moat. Vibe coding is just the last mile.
