Something got built fast. It was vibe coded — an AI wrote most of it, it shipped in a fortnight, and for a while it was the best decision anyone made that quarter.
Then real users arrived. Now nobody can safely change it, the person who prompted it into existence has a slightly haunted look, and every estimate starts with “it depends what that function does.”
This is not a character flaw. It is a stage. Vibe coding it into existence was the right call — it is just that the thing that got you here will not get you to the next order of magnitude. That part is our job: taking vibe-coded software to production grade, so it holds up for every user you are about to have and not only the ten who saw the demo.
