For me this shows once again that proper testing is neglected by many developers and companies. Sadly, it is not even mentioned in the advice at the end of the article.

Exactly. No mention of writing automated tests or even TDD at all. It's best to save everyone by writing tests that prevent a $100 issue on your machine from becoming a costly $10M+ problem in production as the product scales after it has launched. This won't be the last time and this is what 'vibe coding' doesn't consider and it it will introduce more issues like this.

There you have it: Another vibe coding catastrophe, 13 days later: [0]
