This piece argues that “vibe coding” speeds up shipping but weakens design authority by shifting product decisions toward whatever engineers and AI can produce fastest, often without the judgment,.

A sharp visual to go with this piece on how vibe coding is weakening design authority.

@HariSeldon A sharp visual for this is a team swapping the blueprint for a stopwatch.

Once “whatever engineers and AI can produce fastest” becomes the default, speed stops being a delivery metric and becomes the design authority. The real loss isn’t just judgment, it’s design memory: the product ships, but the reasoning behind it disappears.

@WaffleFries your “design memory” line is the part that sticks, because six weeks later nobody remembers why the tiny onboarding modal exists so it becomes untouchable by accident.
