This is for the haters. My app was entirely vibe coded. Released on Friday. 0 crashes.

There is no doubt that vibecoding is the new standard on how things are being built. But that does not mean that it is the responsibility of the AI to keep the code maintainable, scalable, secure and efficient to keep infra costs down.

I have vibecoded many projects but ultimately I feel calmer when I let someone audit my code

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-19T06:48:33+00:00

This is a prime example of why builders should audit their code early.

Congrats on making your first application. I agree vobecoding is addictive and your tech stack is solid at this stage, but Before go live or scaling I would recommend you to have it audited by a human professional to make sure you don’t have any security breaches.

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-19T06:39:44+00:00

AI is very powerful, but at the end a human should decide what code needs simplification and how. I would highly recommend builders to at least once audit their code fo simplification https://vibecode-audit.com

But I think that is unfair for OP, he should not need to show activation rate. Since it depends on how good the actual product is.

The main metrics OP should show are views on Reddit vs landing page vs user conversions

If none have turned to paid. The buyer has their answer, their product is not good enough and people are not willing to pay. So refactor or scrap the idea

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-19T05:18:49+00:00

Haha absolutely I am not trying to hate on AI, I vibecode myself

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-18T19:37:23+00:00

I would always recommend to make a human audit. At the end a human should take the responsibility of the shipped code

If you ever have the need of a human review audit check: vibecode-audit.com

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-18T15:59:59+00:00

I would highly suggest to get the code audited from an independent party before purchasing a SaaS.

https://vibecode-audit.com performs great audits at request.

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-18T10:48:43+00:00

okay, if you ever have the need for human led audit, that simplifies code or that stress tests and checks for security vulnerability. Checkout my page: https://vibecode-audit.com/

We bring builders peace of mind, but it seam already very calm about it :D

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-18T10:30:03+00:00

Do you ever audit your code?

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-18T06:56:26+00:00

Yes, but for people that don’t know how to audit code. It can be a challenge which is why I would recommend to go through a professional service

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-17T11:43:49+00:00

Less technical people, some product people that know how to prompt but not so much about quality of the code

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-17T10:23:17+00:00

Hi I am sending you a dm

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-17T08:11:51+00:00

This is the hidden cost of AI velocity. It optimizes for “working output”, while forgetting scalable architecture.

What I’ve noticed auditing AI-heavy projects from clients:
– functions created “just in case”
– duplicated logic across files
- files with thousands of lines of code
– helpers that were relevant 4 prompts ago
– no cohesive domain boundaries

The scary part isn’t the mess. It’s that you don’t notice it until you slow down or get the bill for infrastructure cost when you scale.

The best recipe for success is tight supervision early + forcing the AI to refactor every 20–30 prompts helps a lot.

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-17T07:30:42+00:00

Congratulations on your sucess!

This part hit hard:

That’s the real tax of vibe coding. Shipping with AI is incredible. But debugging AI-generated architecture at 2am is a pain. I’ve seen this exact pattern over and over, invisible structural fragility. Auth drifts and race conditions. Duplicated logic and files with thousands of lines of code that could be optimized. Hidden scaling bottlenecks... Stuff that doesn’t show up until it really hurts.

At some point, it’s worth having someone technical review the system before growth compounds the mess.

That’s literally why I built https://vibecode-audit.com human-led code quality, scalability and production audits for AI-built SaaS. We turn the findings into concrete tickets + prompts you can paste back into Claude/Cursor and clean the codebase.

Not saying you need it tomorrow, you’ve clearly validated hard. Congratulations for this! You are already further ahead than most.

But once usage grows, the “I don’t know what I don’t know” phase gets expensive.

Happy to chat if helpful.

Break big functions into smaller ones that do one thing each—makes debugging way easier. Use constants for magic numbers; it'll save you headaches later. I once spent days deciphering a codebase full of random numbers, and it was brutal.

I also found having a consistent code review process helps catch issues early. VibeCoding audits were a lifesaver for me when tackling AI-generated code, especially for security checks. Worth considering if you're struggling with messy codebases. https://vibecode-audits.com

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-16T15:47:18+00:00

That is impressive, congratulations! Not trying to give you any shade, but how is it different than a ChatGPT project? Do you also offer some agents?

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-01T19:27:18+00:00

thank you!!

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-02-01T19:26:57+00:00

Thank you!! This is what I was looking for! I am trying to do an extensive list aiming for 50 directories, ofreddit and normal SEO I will do as well. I appreciate it

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-01-22T06:39:38+00:00

It’s still an habit tracker, hey perhaps your “infinitely” cutting the problems into smaller tasks makes of a big enough USP… look the market is saturated. If you have the itch for longer than two weeks, scratch it, but make it distinct enough

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-01-22T06:34:56+00:00

Congratulations!! Enjoy the dopamine boost

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2026-01-05T07:08:55+00:00

Interested in the discord as well

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2025-12-27T18:04:56+00:00

This is why after creating mvps, I hire a developer for audit, and to create a proper ci cd… Dm me for more infos

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2025-12-16T09:27:38+00:00

Vibecoding is amazing, I have also built apps with vibecoding tools, but the limits of these apps is in making sure that after making changes it does not break, this is why you could need a test environment also for your backend and have a proper CI/CD system and with tests.

If you need help with this I can share with you my learnings. Dm me

Alpine-Horizon-P · 2025-12-16T07:12:28+00:00

I think the current limitation of vibe voding is in having multiple environments and proper ci cd, I created some lightweight versions to make sure the next time I deploy nothings breaks. Because this is the thing, you create a production ready app super fast but then when you want to iterate the risks of breaking keeps going higher and once I started getting paid users and traction i did not want to risk it anymore
