Original: A Go developer’s take on AI "vibecoding": Building a secure web utility hub
Short summary
A Go developer tested 'vibecoding' by building toolkitch.ru, a privacy-first web utility hub with Node.js, Express, and KodaCode AI assistance. The AI excelled at scaffolding routes, Docker configs, and Bootstrap boilerplate, freeing focus on architecture and client-side security. Verdict: AI amplifies developer productivity in routine work but engineering judgment remains essential.
- •Developer built privacy-first web utility hub using AI-assisted coding to test vibecoding hype
- •AI handled boilerplate and scaffolding effectively but didn't replace architectural or security decisions
- •AI works as a force multiplier for grunt work, not a replacement for genuine engineering judgment
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
