Agile Manifesto co-author Jon Kern, marking the manifesto's 25th anniversary, shares his enthusiasm for vibe coding while warning of its risks. Using Replit as his primary tool, Kern argues AI coding amplifies a developer's existing strengths and weaknesses rather than replacing engineering judgment. He cautions companies against cutting engineering staff in favor of AI-only workflows, citing an insurance company that did so with poor results. Kern draws parallels between how agile principles were misapplied over the years and how vibe coding could be similarly misused, urging developers to deepen their understanding of software quality and agility rather than blindly chasing AI-generated speed.
