> rebuild from scratch (which may not be a problem with vibe coding) I've thought about how I could possibly vibe code from scratch something I've built and I just don't think it's possible. So much of the API contract and UI behavior is implicit that there is no way you could clone it without missing edge cases. And that's assuming the prompt is take this code and do X with it. Starting from scratch, like blank slate... Impossible. You simply can't adequately describe a sufficiently complex app in natural language well enough to get a perfect copy. You'd have to detail every business rule, every quirk, everything that makes your app work. Try and condense the hundreds, thousands of tickets and bug reports into prompts. Folks hedging on GenAI just constantly rewriting from scratch when they declare technical bankruptcy are in for a rude awakening (and tons of bugs).
