Vibe Coding Declared 'Over' as Professional Strategy — '69 Vulnerabilities in 15 Apps' Reckoning Accelerates

Medium·medium signal

A viral Medium post by Ahmed Hafdi declared 'Vibe Coding Is Over. What Comes Next Is Much Harder,' arguing the Karpathy-coined approach of accepting AI output without review is no longer viable professionally. DEV Community documented 69 vulnerabilities across 15 vibe-coded apps. The Cloud Security Alliance published two research notes on 'Vibe Coding Security Debt' covering credential sprawl and SDLC debt. Combined with Georgia Tech's 483% CVE surge (6→35 in Q1 2026), the backlash is now institutionalized.
