Limitations & The Architect's Mindset
Vibe coding is not magic. It comes with chaotic side effects. Here is how to survive them.
Before diving into the actual building chapters, you must understand the weaknesses of modern AI agents. If you blindly trust the AI, you will quickly hit a wall where the code breaks, the AI forgets what it was doing, and your project becomes a tangled mess.
1. The Infinite Bug Loop
Sometimes the AI will introduce a bug. When you ask it to fix it, it breaks something else. You ask it to fix that, and it reverts back to the original bug. You are now trapped in an infinite loop. Solution: Stop the agent immediately. Review the code manually or restart the conversation with a clean prompt.
2. Context Amnesia
As your codebase grows to thousands of lines, the AI will start forgetting earlier rules you set. It might randomly delete important variables or use outdated library syntax. Solution: Keep components small and modular. Never put 1,000 lines of code in a single file.
3. Hallucinations
The AI is heavily confident even when it is completely wrong. It will confidently invent API methods that do not exist. Solution: If you are integrating a niche or brand new API (like KIS Open API), feed the official API documentation directly into the AI's context window.
The Golden Rule: Commit Often
Because agents can autonomously edit multiple files at once, a single bad prompt can destroy your entire working project in seconds. You must use Git. Every time the AI successfully completes a feature and the app runs without errors, commit your code immediately. Think of it as a "Save Point" in a video game before fighting a boss.
