The article argues that unstructured AI coding practices, dubbed ‘vibe coding,’ lead to inefficiencies like high rework rates and poor code quality. It highlights the emergence of AI-native frameworks to provide structure and predictability in human-AI collaboration. Author Akash Lomas explains how chaotic AI use masks hidden costs, including wasted compute resources and increased technical debt. The piece explores tools like Spec-kit and BMad Method, which offer structured workflows for developers and teams. It concludes that adopting a framework-based approach transforms AI from a shortcut into a strategic asset for reliable results.

Key facts

  • Unstructured AI coding leads to a 70% rejection rate of suggestions, wasting compute resources and developer time.
  • Unregulated AI-assisted coding increases code duplication by 400% and raises technical debt due to brittle code.
  • AI-native frameworks like Spec-kit and BMad Method provide guardrails for structured human-AI collaboration.
  • Hybrid workflows combining BMad’s strategic planning with Spec-kit’s tactical execution improve end-to-end quality.
  • Structured approaches enable teams to turn AI from a productivity shortcut into a strategic development asset.
