Vibe Coding: What to Do After the App Is Built

So you've vibe coded an app....now what?

Vibe coding gives almost anyone the ability to build a working app in an afternoon. In fact, around 63% of people building this way right now have no coding background at all. But once that app is live, the job of keeping it secure, monitored, and running for real users is as hard as it has always been, and if you don't know what you're looking for, you can open yourself to all sorts of risk.

In this episode, Jess and Kyle cover what it actually takes to keep an AI-built app safe and running once it's in front of real users. They break down the concept of vibe slop, what type of security risks are common for vibe-coded apps, and the operational layer that sits between deploying an app and running it safely, including configuration, access control, monitoring, and dependencies. They also walk through a security checklist you can run before anyone else uses what you've built, and more importantly, when it's time to hand what you've built over to a professional.

What You'll Learn

What vibe slop is, and why most AI-built apps have it without their builders realising
Why AI-generated code carries a specific category of security risks
The operational layer between building something and running it safely, covering configuration, access control, monitoring, and dependencies
A practical five-step security checklist to run through before anyone else touches what you've built
How to tell when your app has outgrown what you can safely manage, and what that decision actually looks like in practice
