Should I rewrite a vibe-coded app?
Usually not. Most can be stabilised in place by adding tests around the risky paths, fixing the worst defects, and setting up proper deployment.
What is Vibe coding?
Vibe coding is building software by prompting AI tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT and accepting the output with little review, which produces working prototypes quickly and production problems later.
The usual symptoms are duplicated logic, missing error handling, secrets in the codebase, no tests, and a deployment that works until the first real load. None of this means the idea is wrong; it means the prototype was never engineered.
Our Vibe Code Rescue service stabilises and refactors AI-generated codebases to production standard without a full rewrite, for AUD $10,000 to $40,000 depending on size.
