Many AI-generated sites rely entirely on front-end rendering — they look fine to humans, but crawlers get an almost empty shell, making months of SEO work useless. The quoted post, from a web agency, argues vibe-coding makes sense for testing ideas, tight budgets, campaign prototypes, and interactive tools — but a funded startup's main marketing site shouldn't rely on vibe-coding alone.
