259 | Vibe Coding in 2026: Can Your App Survive You?

from HiTech Podcast Hosted by HiTech Podcast

Anyone can build an app now. The real question is whether it survives you.Vibe coding in 2026 isn't what it was two years ago — the tools got better, but the problems didn't go away. Josh and Will dig into what it actually takes to build AI-assisted tools that last: scope creep, handover, documentation, security, and the eight hours you have to justify to your boss. Will walks through his architecture-first approach on a long-term API project — building a coding agent before writing code, mapping 26 variables, and splitting one 3,000-line script into modular flows. Then he demos AcroText, the Chrome extension he vibe coded to replace Text Blaze, and what building it accidentally taught him about where your data really goes.Whether you're a total beginner or already shipping little tools for your team, you'll leave knowing where to start and what to plan for. -- ♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?
