The hype of "Vibe Coding" is everywhere right now.

Many people are calling vibe coding the “next level of programming” or even the “future of programming.”

And there is a solid logic behind why they are saying this.

In the past, developers had to write code directly in many low-level languages, where the processor, CPU, RAM, thread had to write every instruction to understand what was happening at this level.

But in the evolution of time, high-level languages bring the benefits of abstraction for developers. As a result, now the hardware level tasks are handled by the compiler or language itself, and developers can easily work with only their original idea or logic.

So now Vibe Coding can be called the next level of abstraction of programming, where a developer gives instructions in natural language without writing specific coding syntax, and the AI tool works like a compiler here, converting those natural language instructions into code.

Don’t you need to learn programming anymore? Will non-coders be able to develop applications easily? Is software engineering dead? There are so many questions...

But the reality is that Vibe coding isn’t finishing programming. Rather, it takes programming to the next level. Programming with AI will be faster, more accessible and productive.

Currently, small or mid-level projects do not require DSA or low-level language. Because there are fewer users, smaller scales, less optimization, limited complexity.

In the same way, it is possible to do a lot of work with AI in this type of project, even without deep programming knowledge.

But the problem starts when it comes to V2, V3 where it is needed: scale, testing, debugging, security, performance optimization, and when it comes to handling millions, millions of users.

In that case, basic knowledge, DSA, and skills like Technical Depth, Deep Debugging, Scale, System Understanding are required. This is not necessary for small or mid-level projects.

So, Vibe will not replace coding programmers. Rather, those who understand strong fundamentals and logic can be 10x more productive with the help of AI.

Now those who are just enjoying Vibe Coding without strengthening the fundamentals, they will find a real programmer in the interval of time. Because vibe gives coding speed, but there is no substitute for strong fundamentals to sustain a large system.
