Vibe Coding is Technical Debt. Vibe Engineering is the Fix

Introduces the distinction between 'vibe coding' (rapid AI-assisted development without constraints) and 'vibe engineering' (structured AI development with codified rules). The author shares how their team discovered 163 pages of security vulnerabilities from uncontrolled AI code generation, then fixed the issue by implementing context engineering primitives - markdown files that enforce security standards, coding patterns, and architectural constraints directly in the repository. Demonstrates how the same prompt produces insecure code without context but generates production-ready, secure code when agents follow repository-defined rules. Includes practical examples showing SQL injection prevention, proper secret management in Terraform, and agent orchestration workflows.
