So-called &ldquo;Vibe Coding&rdquo; refers to developers relying on large language models (LLMs) to automatically generate code, driving the development process with &ldquo;intuition&rdquo; in an attempt to eliminate the tedious steps of traditional programming. However, this methodology fundamentally ignores the essence of software development: abstraction and complexity management. Fred Brooks pointed out in his classic 1986 paper &ldquo;No Silver Bullet&rdquo; that the &ldquo;essential complexity&rdquo; in software development cannot be magically eliminated by any tool; it can only be understood, decomposed, and managed. LLMs may accelerate the generation of boilerplate code, but when faced with architectural decisions requiring deep domain knowledge and systematic thinking, their performance often falls short.</p>
