Hot take: LLMs are really good at coding, but it's still more fun to create our own designs from scratch in a design tool

Vibe-coding still needs good auth 😎 Whether you’re shipping with Cursor/Claude or writing everything by hand, auth is still the front door to your app I tested WorkOS AuthKit + Radar and came away thinking: Full write-up 👇

The great thing about vibe coding is that we can finally build the apps of our dreams and add features which we wish other apps had, and the entry level is a "prompt". Still need to know programming fundamentals to make it secure and scalable, though, but it's still a huge jump nonetheless.

Unpopular opinion: Vibe coding creates builders Software development creates engineers Builders ask: "Can we ship it?" Engineers ask: "Can we support it?" You need both But they are not the same

Lately, it seems like the biggest gap isn’t coding anymore… Its ownership Anyone can generate code Not everyone can: - debug it under pressure - secure it - maintain it - support users - ship updates without breaking it all Vibe coding ships fast Ownership ships forever

Most developers think AI makes them faster The real shift is this: Before: We wrote code > waited > and fixed bugs Now: We design systems > delegate to AI > review outcomes AI didn’t change what we build It changed how responsibility flows
