"Vibe coding" – the practice of prompting Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate software on the fly – is hitting a wall. While AI can produce sugar-rush code with ease, it struggles to ensure the structural integrity needed to underpin enterprise-ready applications, rather than just POCs.
The result is a proliferation of "spaghetti code" that works in isolation but fails when integrated into complex systems. In response, AI-driven software leaders are attempting a pivot from "vibes", back to architecture.
Enter "Spec-Driven Development" (SDD).
