The Vibe Coding Reality
Vibe coding — using AI tools like Loveable, Bolt.new, or Cursor to generate applications from natural language prompts — is tempting. You describe what you want, the AI churns out code, and suddenly you have a working prototype. It feels like magic.
Until it doesn’t.
What starts as a promising MVP quickly becomes a security nightmare, performance bottleneck, or maintenance disaster. Recent industry analysis shows that AI-generated code contains bugs in 45% of instances, with security vulnerabilities being particularly common.
What Goes Wrong
Security Vulnerabilities
- API key exposure: AI tools frequently hardcode sensitive credentials directly into source code
- Injection attacks: Input validation is often overlooked or implemented incorrectly
- Authentication bypasses: User access controls are commonly flawed or missing entirely
- Data exposure: Database queries may leak sensitive information through poor error handling
Real example: A security scan of 1,645 Loveable-created apps found that 170 allowed unauthorized access to user data, including names, emails, and financial information (source: Semafor report).
Data Loss Risks
- Missing backups: No proper backup strategies or recovery procedures
- Database corruption: Poorly handled transactions and concurrent access
- State management issues: Frontend state can become inconsistent with backend data
- Race conditions: Concurrent operations often lack proper synchronization
Performance Problems
- Unoptimized queries: N+1 problems and missing database indexes
- Memory leaks: Improper resource cleanup in long-running processes
- Monolithic architecture: Everything bundled together, making scaling impossible
- Frontend bloat: Unnecessary libraries and unoptimized asset loading
Maintainability Nightmares
- No clear structure: Code generated ad-hoc without coherent architecture
- Missing documentation: Zero explanation of business logic or technical decisions
- Inconsistent patterns: Different parts of the application use different approaches
- Technical debt: Quick fixes compound into unmaintainable complexity
My Approach
I’ve been building production systems for over a decade. I understand why vibe coding is appealing — and why it goes wrong. My goal isn’t to judge your technical choices, but to help you build something reliable.
Initial Assessment
I review your application to identify immediate risks and long-term concerns:
- Security vulnerabilities and data exposure risks
- Performance bottlenecks and scalability limitations
- Architecture problems and technical debt
- Missing operational requirements (monitoring, backups, etc.)
Prioritized Action Plan
Not everything needs fixing immediately. I provide a clear roadmap:
- Critical: Security fixes that must happen before production
- Important: Performance and reliability improvements
- Nice-to-have: Code quality and maintainability enhancements
Implementation Support
Depending on your needs:
- Consultation only: Detailed recommendations and guidance for your team
- Hands-on fixes: I implement the critical changes directly
- Hybrid approach: I handle security/architecture while you manage features
Full-Service Approach
If your vibe-coded application is beyond repair, I’m happy to rebuild it from scratch using proper development practices. I also provide ongoing support, feature development, and maintenance services as needed.
This isn’t just about fixing immediate problems — it’s about building a sustainable, scalable foundation for your business.
Investment
Initial consultation is €100 and can be done via chat, video call, email, or whatever communication method works best for you.
During this consultation, we’ll assess your application and create a prioritized action plan. Based on what we find, I’ll provide a custom quote for implementation work - whether that’s quick fixes, security hardening, performance optimization, or a complete rebuild.
