This picture clearly shows why more and more people feel that they have encountered obstacles after tasting the benefits of vibe coding in the early stages.

After trying various demo-level small programs, they will encounter various problems if they want to use vibe coding to build more complex and serious AI products.

One of the very important factors is the limitation of artificial understanding ability.

For example, if people who are not programmers originally want to understand and master some complex vibe coding skills, such as claude code skills, subagent and other advanced skills, they will stop moving forward due to their own limitations.

So there is a big gap here.

There is a big gap between the current vibe coding level and the real coding ability of the model.

It is estimated that many subsequent vibe coding products will have this capability, and there are many areas worthy of innovation hidden in it.
