The 5 myths of the agentic coding apocalypse

The article examines the myths and real risks of "vibe" or agentic AI coding—arguing that while AI can accelerate development, it often produces opaque, inconsistent, and fragile code that requires disciplined management, rigorous testing (including adversarial and edge-case tests), and security-focused validation. The author recommends treating AI like external contractors: enforce checkpoints, integrate multi-model code review, instrument for failures, and explicitly require input validation and supply-chain checks to avoid maintenance debt and security blind spots.
