AI might be changing the nature of a variety of jobs, especially for developers, but vibe coding can’t scale — and it can’t outright replace enterprise software development. “I get pretty perturbed when our people internally refer to AI tooling as vibe coding. If they think that’s what they’re doing, they’re misunderstood,” Erickson said.
Vibe coding, while potentially good for software prototyping, should be governed by guidelines and development principles, researchers said. That would include heavy auditing to address hallucinations and security risks, as well as skilled prompts to provide better context, the US and UK researchers wrote.
“AI functions primarily as an assistant…, providing localized code suggestions and learning support while leaving overall direction, integration, and validation to the human developer,” they said.
