> Fact is, vibe-coded projects devolve over time into an unmaintainable mess.
We've had strong coding agents for less than a year. Anyone making such a definitive statement about how vibe-coded projects progress over time is basing it on guesswork, not evidence.
In my experience, the most difficult part of a software project is getting the specifications correct. To abuse Harold Abelson famously quote: "Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."
"A Project must have proper tests and specs, and only incidentally for a working program that executes"
