On Vibe Coding:

"Definitely not for cryptography libraries, wallets, or infrastructural software. AI works best when it’s trained against code written to stable APIs. If the bottom layers are rapidly-changing ā€œvibe codeā€, and then there are layers on top of that there are going to be major problems."

To be fair, I’m less knowledgeable about AI than I should be and one of my goals for this year is to better learn tools for refactoring/improving existing apps. But ā€œvibe codeā€ at the lower-layers or multiple layers of vibe code sounds risky to me. AI should be held to (at least) the same standards as human developers.
