Architectural constraints that make vibe coded software maintainable

TL;DR AI agent could crank out compiling code in minutes, but I’d burn hours verifying its logic. The culprit wasn’t the agent; It was the architecture. By giving it infinite ways to solve every problem, that practically invited convoluted solutions.

So we tightened the rules: one clear, opinionated path per task. Suddenly the agent’s output was not just syntactically correct, it was obviously correct and maintainable.

The whole approach (and the lessons learned) here: 🔗 Simple Is Not Easy

Would love to hear how you curb complexity in your own vibe coded applications?
