About this listen

AI is writing code—and everyone’s shipping faster than ever. But at what cost?


In this episode, we tackle vibe coding, the controversial approach of using AI to quickly generate code for app development. It promises speed, iteration, and early investor interest. But behind the velocity lies a growing trail of technical debt, security flaws, and brittle systems that don’t scale.


We explore why founders are leaning into vibe coding for demos and MVPs—and why that same strategy can backfire when it's time to build something real. From broken investor trust to debugging chaos, this is a cautionary tale for anyone betting on AI to carry their product from concept to production.


You’ll walk away knowing when vibe coding is useful, when it's reckless, and how to build smarter—even if you’re moving fast.
