Three reasons vibe-coded software is still far from production grade, with ReactBench data

Responding to a debate on whether non-engineers can ship production-grade software, Gabe Greenberg laid out three gaps: (1) models still can't handle long-horizon work, which software development fundamentally is; (2) output quality depends on input quality — those who understand software architecture produce better planning and right-sized prompts; (3) frontend code quality lags badly. ReactBench illustrates the last point: models can ace existing benchmarks yet write React that fails in production on performance and accessibility, with the top model (GPT 5.6 Solmax) at just 47% Pass@1.
