If I can ask a question unrelated to this article. AI is being pushed heavily in my industry, and there are hundreds of options available and at least one conference about it. I just saw the ad for it, and it mentions, in part, "Network and Build an Application with Vibecoding". From what was posted in a previous article here and what Claude explained to me, vibecoding is not ideal, and it can lead to some rather unfortunate results. Am I understanding this correctly? (With the caveat that no one attending this is in any way, shape, or form a developer or engineer.) Thank you for your assistance.

AI is a junior developer. You are the lead developer. When structured properly with a skilled human, it's a force multiplier, yet you still have to QA/QC the code. With a novice and no plan, it's still garbage in, garbage out.

You can use Claude to generate a draft development workflow. Tell Claude to reference the articles and comments on this substack and sigmagame to benefit from the knowledge offered. Other AIs can't seem to access the substacks without specific article URLs. It's a draft workflow build by an AI and will have issues.
