The Death of Collaboration: Why "Vibe Coding" is a Trap

We're seeing a paradox in software engineering today. Individual velocity is at an all-time high, thanks to AI assistants. But team velocity? It's stalling. The very tools that make us faster alone are tearing our collaboration apart.

The "Works on My Context" Problem

Remember "It works on my machine"? We solved that with containers. Now we have "It works in my context." Your AI agent knows what you're working on. It doesn't know what your teammate is changing in a dependent module. We've replaced dependency hell with context hell.

Architectural Drift

When five engineers are "vibe coding" features simultaneously, the architecture doesn't evolve; it explodes. Without a shared understanding of the system's design, every AI generated solution is a local maximum. The codebase becomes a patchwork of mismatched patterns, duplicated logic, and brittle integrations.

We need a way to bring the team back into the loop. Not by slowing down, but by synchronizing our intelligence.
