Vibe Coding Without System Design is a Trap

"Measure twice, cut once" is still good advice, but AI tools make it so easy to break that rule.

Lowering the barrier to creation has always been a net positive. WordPress turned anyone into a publisher. YouTube turned anyone into a broadcaster. Shopify turned anyone into an e-commerce operator. AI-assisted coding is doing the same for product building.

Let a thousand flowers bloom. I’m all in!

The problem: AI is very good at helping you build something. It’s not very good at helping you build something well.

The difference matters, especially for founders, product managers and product teams trying to ship real products, not prototypes or demos.
