Vibe Coding Skips Requirements Engineering — That Is the Real Risk
May 30, 2026
LLMs generate syntactically valid code but cannot surface missing requirements, invariants, or failure modes — the decisions made before any code is written. The argument is that AI coding tools accelerate output while leaving the hard engineering work of problem framing, system modeling, and risk identification entirely to the developer.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU

builderTreat LLM-generated code as implementation only — requirements elicitation, state modeling, and failure mode analysis still require deliberate human effort before you prompt.
