The concept of vibe coding is picking up momentum.
For those unfamiliar, vibe coding is a collaborative, human-in-the-loop development approach where large language models (LLMs) handle the heavy lifting of code generation based on natural language prompts. As a developer, you describe what you want, and the AI takes care of writing, adjusting, and even debugging code. You’re no longer bogged down by boilerplate or fiddling with syntax. Instead, you’re shaping the architecture, guiding the logic, and focusing on the why of what you’re building, not just the how.
It’s an exciting shift. But here’s what’s not being talked about enough:
Vibe coding only works as well as the stack you’re using.
And in my experience, across countless projects, dozens of teams, and many languages, Ruby on Rails outperforms the rest when it comes to this new way of building software.
Let’s talk about why.
