And manager types in software still haven't figured out that prototypes should not be the final product. In engineering it's common knowledge and only rarely do you take a proof of concept directly to production.
Worst case:
- release vibe coded tool
- on HN, someone says, d'oh, you should be using Y, not X
- give that comment to your LLM
- LLM: "The commenter on Hacker News is absolutely right, my mistake. I can easily replace X with Y if you want"
- release a new, better version of vibe coded tool
Iteration, in one afternoon.
