AI Development Methodologies Compared: From Vibe Coding to SDD

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 18:00:00 +0800

In early 2025, Andrej Karpathy coined “Vibe Coding” and the AI-assisted development revolution began. By Y Combinator Winter 2025, 25% of companies had 95% of their code generated by AI. But the honeymoon didn’t last — quality issues, technical debt, and project chaos forced the industry to rethink how humans and AI should collaborate on code.

This article is a deep dive into the six major AI development methodologies that emerged from this reckoning. I’ll break down what each one gets right, what it gets wrong, and — most importantly — which one you should actually use. This isn’t a surface-level overview; it’s built from hands-on experience, Martin Fowler’s team analysis, Peter Steinberger’s evolving workflow, and real production data.

Vibe Coding Explained: What It Is and How to Do It Right

In February 2025, Andrej Karpathy — OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director — posted this on X:

“There’s a new kind of coding I call ‘vibe coding’, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”

That single post defined a movement. “Vibe coding” became the Collins Dictionary Word of the Year 2025, entered Merriam-Webster, and sparked the most heated debate in software engineering since “should we use tabs or spaces?”

Stanford CS146S Deep Dive (5): From Prototype to Production — The Full AI App Lifecycle

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0800

This is Part 5 (the finale) of the “Stanford Vibe Coding Course Deep Dive” series. See the series navigation at the bottom.

“Build an app with one prompt” — that’s probably the most eye-catching selling point of Vibe Coding.

The Week 8 guest was Gaspar Garcia, Head of AI Research at Vercel. He demonstrated live how AI can generate a complete web application from a single prompt — frontend, backend, database, deployment — all in one shot.

Stanford CS146S Deep Dive (4): Secure Vibe Coding — AI Code Security Guide

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 08:30:00 +0800

This is Part 4 of the “Stanford Vibe Coding Course Deep Dive” series. See the series navigation at the end of this article.

Weeks 6 and 7 of CS146S are the most spine-chilling weeks of the entire course.

Week 6 covers security: when AI writes your code, who ensures it’s not vulnerable to attacks? Even scarier — what happens when the AI itself becomes the attack surface?

Week 7 covers review: how much can we actually trust AI-generated code?

Context Engineering: The Most Underrated Core Skill in AI Programming (Stanford CS146S Deep Dive)

This is Part 2 of the “Stanford Vibe Coding Course Deep Dive” series. See the series navigation at the end of this article.

If I had to pick just one week from the entire 10-week CS146S curriculum for a deep dive, I would choose Week 3 without hesitation.

Not because it is the flashiest – that would be Week 8’s “build an app with one sentence.” Not because it is the most hardcore – that would be Week 6’s security deep dive. It is because what Week 3 covers directly determines the ceiling of your AI programming capability.

Stanford CS146S Deep Dive (Part 1): How Vibe Coding Became a Real Academic Discipline

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +0800

From Andrej Karpathy coining Vibe Coding in a February 2025 tweet to Stanford officially launching CS146S that same fall — less than 8 months. A social media buzzword entering a top university’s curriculum this fast is almost unprecedented in the history of computer science.

This is not some “learn to code with ChatGPT” fluff course. CS146S covers the full software engineering lifecycle — from LLM fundamentals to Agent architectures, from context engineering to security, from automated builds to production operations. Its guest speaker list reads like an AI coding hall of fame: the creator of Claude Code, Vercel’s Head of AI Research, Semgrep’s CEO, an a16z general partner…

Vibe Coding Guide 2026: What It Is, Best Tools, and How to Start

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0800

In 2026, if you follow the AI coding space, one term is impossible to ignore: Vibe Coding. From a single tweet to the Collins Dictionary Word of the Year shortlist and MIT Technology Review’s Top 10 Breakthrough Technologies, Vibe Coding has evolved from a niche concept into a mainstream development practice. Statistics show that 91% of engineering organizations have adopted at least one AI coding tool, and Vibe Coding is the most emblematic idea driving this transformation.
