Vibe Coding Is Great for Demo; It’s Not a Strategy for GenAI Value in the SDLC

If your IDE can whip up a feature in minutes, why do releases still get delayed, incidents keep popping up, and PR queues stay backed up? That's the big question driving vibe coding. The idea sounds great: just say what you want in plain language, have an LLM generate the code, copy it over, run it, and then you're ready to go. It feels like software has finally turned into something that puts English first.
