Why is vibe coding so immensely popular in business management

There is an eerie and almost exciting feeling from business people regarding vibe-coding. Like Alexander the Great, they’ve found a way of breaking the gordian knot of talking to developers that have questions.

Programmers naturally ask follow-up questions that stakeholders often don’t have immediate answers to. We need to anticipate what’s coming next to build systems that can scale.

Business people are focused on solving their current problems, while programmers are considering edge cases, future requirements, and technical challenges that aren’t obvious from the surface.

We could improve at communicating why this matters. The key is helping business see the value in our questions i.e. explaining how today’s overlooked edge case becomes tomorrow’s production outage or performance bottleneck.
