#197 Vibe Coding Gotchas to Watch Out For
from The Humanizing Work Show Hosted by Humanizing Work
Vibe coding prototypes can feel magical. With just a few prompts, an AI builds a working app you can click around and test. But when something looks real, it’s easy to fall into common product traps. In this episode of the Humanizing Work Show, Peter shares his positive experience vibe coding a drag-and-drop helper app for a NY Times word game, while Richard highlights the hidden risks. Together they explore how confirmation bias, anchoring, sunk cost fallacy, precision/accuracy bias, and optimism bias sneak in when prototypes start looking like products. The big lesson: don’t use vibe coding to prove your idea — use it to learn. If you want help learning how to validate ideas systematically — with or without AI — join us in an upcoming CSPO or A-CSPO workshop at Humanizing Work.
