Why Vibe Coding Breaks in the Real World The hype peaked in early 2025. By mid-year, traffic to major vibe coding platforms had dropped over 50 percent. People tried, hit the wall, and moved on. The wall is predictable. A generated app looks complete to anyone who is not an engineer. The interface renders. Buttons work. Forms submit data. It feels done. Under the surface, the foundations are missing. Authentication that lives on the client side. APIs with
