Vibecoding For Beginners: Don't Start By Writing Code

Then stop and build the engineering harness: architecture, coding rules, testing, security, verification, Git workflow, documentation, deployment and how AI agents should work inside the repo.

Then add agentic loops - plan, implement, test, inspect, fix, verify, document - and explicitly define where it MUST stop and ask for human review.

That's when vibecoding starts becoming powerful: you are orchestrating a system. The future skill may not be coding everything yourself - it may be designing, constraining and orchestrating intelligent systems.
