By a Lead Engineer at Priset

Even working at Priset, I held a firm belief: "Vibe coding is only good for prototypes."

As an architect, I've tested plenty of AI coding tools. My verdict was always the same: great for small functions, but for a production-grade application, the manual verification and "interviewing" of the AI takes more effort than just writing the code yourself.

But yesterday, a personal problem forced me to challenge that belief. The result? I built a complex, production-ready React Native and .NET 9 application in a single day, using the very tool I help build.

Here is how I went from an idea to a potential App Store submission in 24 hours, with zero prior experience in mobile development.

There are two conversations happening right now about AI. On one hand, we have grand, sweeping visions of a future with "sustainable abundance for all" - a post-work utopia where technology solves humanity's biggest problems. On the other hand, we have a raw, anxious, and deeply personal conversation happening in the trenches of the software industry.

This second conversation sounds a lot like this:

• "Are we creating a 'talent dead zone' by not hiring juniors?"
• "Are we burning out our senior developers to cover the gap?"
• "How does abstract 'abundance' help me pay my mortgage or my kids' medical bills if my job is at risk?"

At Priset, we believe the path to the aspirational future runs directly through solving the anxieties of the present. The grand vision of a Star Trek-style utopia, where technology empowers humanity to explore and create, is built one pragmatic step at a time. It's a future we must consciously choose over an alternative, automated dystopia. And for us, that choice starts with how we build tools for developers today.
