In recent months, the work environment of software development has been revolutionized by a new concept: "Vibe Coding". This practice consists of programming by delegating almost 100% of the logic to Artificial Intelligence tools (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude), where the developer acts more like an orchestra conductor who "feels the vibe" of the code, instead of...
