Dave Is Not AI

Vibe Coding: The Dumbest Tech Trend of 2025?

21 Nov 2025

Description

In recent years, the way we write code has transformed—with AI assistants entering our text editors, autocomplete becoming disturbingly insightful, and "vibes" taking precedence over documentation. This explosive trend, now coined "vibe coding," invites developers to follow their instincts and embrace what feels right, often with a nudge from AI, rather than adhering to time-tested engineering best practices. The allure is obvious: creativity, speed, and the thrill of letting generative models suggest the next big thing in your codebase. But as this method spreads like wildfire through tech communities and social media, serious questions arise: What happens to software quality when the pursuit of innovation means tossing out standards? Are teams sacrificing long-term reliability and maintainability for a quick hit of inspiration and AI-driven dopamine? In this video, we'll cut through the hype and examine why vibe coding, despite all its trendiness, might just be one of the riskiest impulses in our tech zeitgeist—a shortcut that could undermine collaboration, introduce hidden technical debt, and ultimately doom projects to chaos. Get ready for a brutally honest breakdown of why vibe coding is more than just a bad habit—it's a ticking time bomb for professional software development.
