Vibe coding felt like a shot of adrenaline—exciting, dreamy, but totally out of sync. Right now, our tools are too shaky and our playground too messy. In game engines you have some order. On the web, it is chaos.
Too Many Moving Parts
There are dozens of frameworks. Thousands of libraries. New standards pop up every week. Web Components promised easy modules, but they still feel clunky. One month you learn React way. Next month you chase Svelte. Then you jump to Solid or Qwik. Who knows what comes next? It is a dizzying spin.
Missing Building Blocks
Core features are half‑built. Real state lifecycles? Still sketchy. Built‑in suspense? Barely there. Teams waste hours wrestling with glue code and browser quirks. How can you trust your flow when half the pipes leak?
Hype Burns Fast
Hype grabs attention. But hype also crashes hard. Vibe coding looks magical - until it crashes. Will anyone trust this idea in future after everyone burned their last drops of confidence? Doubt will linger.
AI Can't Keep up the Pace
LLMs learn patterns, but patterns shift daily - syntax changes, APIs evolve, AI spits out outdated code. It cannot "feel" the latest tricks - on unstable ground, it just slips off.
Fix the Foundation First
We need firm basics before we improvise. We need simple, solid primitives for rendering and state. We need stable standards with clear rules. We need tools that don't break every update and that LLMs can easily pick up.
Waiting for True Love
Vibe coding can wait, right now it is a false promise. Let us patch the holes. Let us nail the boards. When the stage stops shaking, we can finally be vibing truly and with pleasure.
Honestly I love this idea, I love vibing and coding. Now using AIs feel like suffer, especially if you're a developer.

Yes, the article rightly points out the current difficulties: the instability of frameworks, constant changes, and the imperfection of AI tools. However, it seems to me that it is precisely these challenges that are pushing us to search for new approaches. Developers are tired of the endless race for new technologies and want more creativity and flow in their work.
"Vibe coding" is not about ideal conditions, but about adapting and evolving the development process itself. Perhaps we haven't yet reached a point where it has become mainstream, but the seeds have already been sown, and the sprouts of this new approach are breaking through the asphalt of current limitations. This isn't something that will wait for the perfect moment – it's something that is shaping that moment right now.
I really feel this. Vibe coding sounds amazing in theory, but in reality, the tools and ecosystem just aren’t ready yet. Everything changes so fast new frameworks, new libraries, and nothing feels stable for long. It’s hard to get into a good flow when the basics aren’t solid.
AI helps a bit, but it often gives outdated or broken suggestions because things move too quickly. I think we need to slow down, fix the core problems, and build tools that actually stay consistent. Only then can vibe coding truly work. It’s kind of like trying to describe the experience using an adjective from L — maybe “loose” or “lopsided” — because that’s how the whole environment feels right now: unbalanced and unpredictable.
Totally feel this - it's hard to get in the flow when the ground keeps shifting. If you could fix one core building block first, what would it be?
I don't think anything should be fixed, but well established, documented, open and optimized for AI. Humanity needs some more years/decades to develop and establish enough tools and standards for vibe coding to work properly and, of course, new breakthrough in computational power to develop AI further. Currently, making better models just cost too much.
Agree with this..
