Background & analysis
On November 4, 2026, DEV Community's AI section published an article titled "10 Things to Do Before Vibe Coding." Its premise is that using tools like Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to generate something that runs is easy; the hard part is keeping it running once you add features. With that in mind, the author lists ten preparations to complete before starting: define the problem, scope your MVP, document expected behavior, choose your architecture, model your data, break the build into phases, write dependency-aware tasks, give your agent a persistent blueprint, and plan your testing.
The article's summary notes that skipping any one of these is how you hit the so-called 80% wall. As of now, this topic has been covered by a single piece of reporting, with no follow-up developments and no other sources offering competing views.
