The hardest part of vibe coding no one talks about
I’ve been working on a single app for 10 months. Vibe coded the whole thing. Never looked at a line of code. Added quality assurance tests to catch any changes I wasn’t expecting. Should have done that earlier. Ran through code reviews of memory leaks, race conditions and uncaught errors. Performance tested it. Rewrote sections to be performant. Tests for all functionality. Administration interfaces to manage the application. Automated backups and email server. Built a scraper and went through iterations of scraping engines. Built data cleansing and data normalization functions. Ran penetration testing. But, the hardest thing I’m doing by far is operationalizing it. You can try and close all the holes you can think of but it’s the unexpected that ties you up. A random crash. An edge condition. System level functions that don’t consistently function as expected. What’s funny to me is I thought this part was going to be the easy part.
