#128 Vibe Coding Is Useless Without Strategy: Why Random AI Prototypes Don’t Work

Author: Patricia Reiners October 16, 2025 Duration: 14:16

What if you could build a working prototype just by describing it?

That’s the idea behind vibe coding a new way of designing where intent replaces execution, and AI handles the details.

In this episode, we explore:

  • what vibe coding actually is and how it works
  • how it’s transforming the UX process and team collaboration
  • which new skills designers need to stay ahead
  • and the real risks behind the hype — from creative sameness to fragile AI code

You’ll hear insights, real examples, and a look at how designers, PMs, and developers can work together in this new AI-powered workflow.


✨ Join the Vibe Coding for UX live Training

From Intent to Interactive Prototype, a live training where you’ll learn to turn your ideas into testable prototypes, no coding required.
