Vibe-coding is increasing. Vibe-coded apps tend to be buggy. Is this a worrying sign for the future?
Vibe coding, the use of AI to assist or perform code generation, is increasing dramatically. In May 2026, Hostinger reported, “90% of developers regularly use at least one AI tool at work as of January 2026.” This is likely to increase through the basic business pressure that applies to everything: we need more, faster and cheaper.
But while vibe coding is increasing in volume, so are concerns over the security of vibe-developed apps.
