summary
Claims that vibe coding (term coined Feb 2025) means using AI to prototype and learn rather than ship; shows concrete examples: a dark‑mode toggle and counters to teach state and renders, three implementations useState vs useReducer vs Context with trade‑offs for scale and SSR, a messy contact form refactored into a useForm custom hook, a DIY date formatter compared to npm packages, and a workflow that turns off AI to debug and confirm that prototypes actually work.
