Am I the only one starting to get 'Vibe Coding' fatigue ?

Reddit r/AI_Agents 05/11/26, 03:21 AM News

Summary

A developer shares their fatigue with 'vibe coding,' noting that while AI agents speed up initial creation, they introduce significant architectural debugging challenges and technical debt in complex repositories.

It was fun for the first few weeks building landing pages in 30 seconds, but trying to maintain a complex repo where half the logic was 'vibed' into existence is becoming a massive headache. I feel like we’re accidentally trading an hour of typing for five hours of architectural debugging later on. I’ve started going back to manual typing for my core research logic just so I actually know where the technical debt is hiding. Is anyone actually successfully managing a large-scale project with these agents, or are we all just building 'disposable software' now ?
