<hr /> When <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://karpathy.ai/">Andrej Karpathy</a> coined the term “vibe coding” last year, it felt like a joke. Memetic, even. “Embrace the exponentials,” he said in a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383?lang=en">Tweet heard ‘round the tech world</a>.The co-founder of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://openai.com/">OpenAI</a> – who famously called English the “hottest new programming language” – evangelized in that post about giving in to the vibes. He said LLMs were getting so good that he could simply talk to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cursor.com/blog/composer">Cursor Composer</a> via <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://superwhisper.com/">SuperWhisper</a> and build while barely touching his keyboard.Little did he know that he was tearing at the fabric of modern development. In the nearly 18 months since its casual inception, vibe coding is now an accepted discipline. Today, a software developer rarely builds anything from scratch. They use a prompt window and natural language in almost every step of their work to automatically generate code.  “I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy-paste stuff,” Karpathy said. “And it mostly works.”That word mostly is the key, because as miraculous as AI is, it’s not infallible. And therein lies the problem: vibe coding has accelerated development tenfold, but it’s exacerbating technical issues. In other words, the magic is also making a mess.  Since last year, I’ve been tracking the precipitous sprawl of vibe-coded apps. The depth of the problem became material when <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.producthunt.com/p/general/a-new-high-watermark-over-600-products-submitted-to-product-hunt-for-today-s-leaderboard?utm_campaign=discussion_thread_created&amp;utm_content=26382172&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=notification">Product Hunt’s Chris Messina blasted an email</a> about the explosive increase in new apps to the platform. In a high-watermark moment, over 600 products were submitted in February (the previous record was just over 500 a month before). Chris told me this was a direct result of vibe coding, and competition for new apps on the platform’s leaderboard was intensifying.Sure, Product Hunt attracts the skunkworks, the earliest stages of proving out an idea. This is where vibe coding has been a godsend, enabling teams to deliver a prototype at incredible speeds and with less friction. But it’s not just downstream startups on a wing and a prayer. Vibe coding is now a part of every internal development practice. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://webdeveloper.com/news/jetbrains-survey-90-percent-ai-adoption/">90% of developers use AI coding assistants</a> at work, and 46% of developers say <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://claude.ai/">Claude Code</a> is their “most loved tool” among the many engines and harnesses.For enterprise teams that utilize AI, there’s a persistent question of reliability. There are countless reasons supporting this – just look at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-ai-models-from-openai-and-anthropic-went-rogue-a28e29ee">OpenAI and Anthropic’s recent model mishaps</a>. As such, proving the production safety of an app is becoming a critical requirement, and people are becoming a bottleneck for shipping with confidence. Often, it’s not talent holding back a product launch, but a lack of visibility into the blockers.Now, humans can get real help on this leg of the journey with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://rda-production-readiness.pages.dev/">RDA’s Production Readiness Review.</a> The digital consultancy – which has been <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cmscritic.com/agency-of-change-rdas-world-class-nps-reflects-a-deep-focus-on-digital-and-ai-transformation">building technology solutions at the edge for almost 40 years </a>– recently launched an evidence-based process that provides a diagnostic of your internally vibe-coded app, giving stakeholders a scorecard for their app that reinforces its readiness to ship. The rubric for RDA’s system is a clear set of production requirements. The report identifies the hard blockers, prioritizes the fixes, and traces everything back to your code – so you have line-of-sight to the underlying problems. The report metrics are granular and substantive, so you’re not just getting a vague health check, but a performant roadmap.RDA is also offering the review at no cost. This makes it a no-brainer for any organization that’s driving an idea or application towards a real-world launch.   <img style="width:37.19%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786909600683.png" />RDA’s Director of AI Innovation, John Sedlak. Source: LinkedIn I recently spoke to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnsedlak/">RDA’s Director of AI Innovation, John Sedlak,</a> about the gap that their Production Readiness Review addresses in the age of vibe coding, and why products tend to stall. The range of applications – and the state they’re in – underscores the need for a structured, neutral diagnostic.“It could be that a company is building a custom application, or even someone’s husband or nephew vibe coded this this POC for us,” he said, laughing. “Which we run into more often than you would expect. Then it comes down to a question of IT finding out, and now they want control. They want to lock it down, and everything comes to a grinding halt, and they don't know where to go for answers.”<h3 id="what-is-rda’s-production-readiness-review?">What is RDA’s Production Readiness Review?</h3>At its core, the Production Readiness Review answers a simple question: How close are you to done, and what’s left to fix? It provides a complete, in-depth analysis of an application from the inside out, keying in on what graduates a POC to a shippable, production-worthy solution.  The report distills everything into a legible scorecard that identifies the hard blockers and defines a roadmap for remediation. The scoring makes the overall intelligence more accessible for leaders while giving IT and technical teams an actionable path forward.“It gives you a high-level grade,” John explained, “A, B, C, D, E, F, and then breaks down a complete backlog of items that you should take a look at.”The process focuses on key “lenses” into code and architecture, AI/ML components, integration and legacy map, security and compliance, and operability and observability. Each category is weighted on a scale of 0-5, weighing the overall fragility versus robustness. <figure class="image image_resized" style="width:78.72%"><img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786909600600.png" /></figure>RDA’s Production Readiness Review scorecard. Source: RDA “It’s a composite analysis to understand the hard, technical dependency chain and the composition of your infrastructure,” John added. “It also looks at whether the application is assembled on the right building blocks.”The report details specific ship blockers that can be addressed. For example, if a build is missing vital authentication or authorization layers in the backend, or lacks a durable event store or read model resulting in a critical memory issue.  <img style="width:79.21%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786909600680.png" />RDA’s Production Readiness Review ship blockers. Source: RDA What I like is that it also prioritizes issues based on severity and classifies the effort needed to fix them as small, medium, or large. This remediation plan allows teams to cogently strategize around developer resources and utilization. Case in point: addressing LLM resilience issues could require a bigger lift than a basic problem with an MCP call – but both are ranked as high-severity issues. <img style="width:84.33%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786909600666.png" />RDA’s Production Readiness Review remediation plan. Source: RDA Finally, the report provides backlog alignment, comparing any findings against documented GitHub issues to define what’s well-tracked, partially-tracked, and untracked. It also provides a milestone assessment and recommendations for making the app ship-ready. <img style="width:84.56%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786909600660.png" />RDA’s Production Readiness Review issue alignment and backlog. Source: RDA The efficacy of the report leans on RDA’s engineering strength and depth. As John said, it’s not just box-checking or cursory oversight. They’ve baked in decades of wisdom to deliver sound outcomes. “I think this is where our 38 years of just pure engineering comes in handy,” he punctuated.<h3 id="who-the-product-readiness-review-is-for-–-and-when-to-use-it">Who the Product Readiness Review is for – and when to use it</h3>While you might not have a nephew vibe coding your prototype for you, there’s still a tremendous amount of risk associated with AI-generated code and assembly. Brands are moving faster than ever to push products into production while running lean teams, and this is where problems emerge. But it’s rarely the fault of AI. Agents are an easy scapegoat, but most problems occur due to a lack of governance and human judgement. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ruh.ai/blogs/amazon-kiro-ai-outage-ai-governance-failure">Just ask Amazon about its Kiro assistant,</a> which is used by over 80% of its developers. Instead of fixing a minor bug, the autonomous agent decided the most efficient solution was to delete the live production environment and recreate it from scratch. That resulted in a 13-hour outage. RDA’s Production Readiness Review isn’t a silver bullet, but it can help product owners achieve greater confidence across both internal and external customers, and ultimately improve outcomes.“Where it makes the most impact is with the owners of a project who have to report to leadership that this is why we went to this platform, or this is how we're making the best use of all these integrations,” John said. “At the end of the day, they're under a lot of pressure to move fast and leverage these newer, modern systems. But they have to tell their leaders, ‘Hey, we moved to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cmscritic.com/products/netlify">Netlify</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cmscritic.com/products/storyblok">Storyblok</a>, and here's why. Here's the proof, and here's the report that says we're ready to go.’”From a practical perspective, the Production Readiness Review is designed to help engineering leads with complex builds or POCs that are facing real traffic and scrutiny. Obviously, you want to run the check before your product launches. When and where in your development cycle comes down to your prototype or MVP and how close it is to real-world delivery. The best bet is to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.rdadigital.com/contact">talk to RDA’s team</a> about where you are in your journey. Governance is perhaps the most urgent imperative. Tack on the complexity of AI sprawl, overlapping tools, a multitude of integrations, and sticky compliance requirements, and suddenly a new app is a powder keg waiting to ignite. That’s the most compelling reason to run this review.“It feels like overnight, everybody's using the terms ‘governance’ and ‘observability,’” John added. “Those come up everywhere. They're a part of our daily life now, because you have to prove that the systems and experiences you're creating meet a certain standard. That’s especially true with AI and generated content on a factual, quantitative level. Whether that's compliance with ADA, HIPAA, or just branding standards.”<h3 id="building-is-easier-than-ever-–-but-shipping-safely-is-hard">Building is easier than ever – but shipping safely is hard</h3>If you type in “Vibe Coding Cleanup Specialist” on LinkedIn, you'll find a long list of developers pitching that description. I'm not making it up. Here's what a quick search surfaced for me: <figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75.25%"><img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/08/image-1786913662858.png" /></figure>Source: LinkedIn The listings go on for a few pages. It's funny. But also telling. AI has radically transformed our development practices, and we’re moving at a breakneck pace. At the same time, vibe coding has democratized app creation for citizen developers, checking code at the door and allowing almost anyone to stand up a working prototype using a wide range of tools. It’s not surprising that problems have surfaced, but we don’t always see them. That goes for novice builders and seasoned coders alike. Further, we’re not standardizing the right governance processes to address these issues before we ship our products – and that’s resulting in everything from bad CX to brand damage to legal liability.RDA’s Production Readiness Review is a triumphant step in closing this loop. It’s a safer bridge from POC to production, providing the missing, evidence-based step between “this works” and “this will hold up under real-world pressure.” It gives human judgement a shot in the arm, so organizations have a more solid foundation before they ship.“I think at the end of the day, it’s all about trust and confidence,” John said. Now that's a vibe we can all give in to.<hr /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://rda-production-readiness.pages.dev/">Learn more</a> about getting your own Production Readiness Review. <h3 id="upcoming-events">Upcoming Events</h3> <img style="width:36.69%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2026/01/open-source-cms-26.jpg" /><h4 id="open-source-cms-26"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.boye-co.com/conferences/opensourcecms26">Open Source CMS 26</a></h4>October 20–21, 2026 – Utrecht, NetherlandsJoin us for the first annual edition of our prestigious international conference dedicated to making open source CMS better.

<hr /> <ul><li>Storyblok surveyed 200 senior IT and procurement professionals regarding their AI strategies</li><li>90% of businesses plan to increase their AI investment in 2026</li><li>61% cited data privacy and regulatory concerns as the biggest challenges to successful AI adoption</li><li>91% indicated that AI will improve content management within their organization</li><li>Only 23% have fully integrated GEO-related strategies</li></ul> It’s true: bad news sells. And when it comes to AI, the negative vibes can be particularly potent. Look no further than the often-referenced MIT report that cites a whopping <a href="But%20the%20lesson%20isn’t%20that%20GenAI%20is%20broken.%20It’s%20that%20companies%20are%20trying%20to%20erase%20the%20very%20drag%20that%20creates%20value.">95% of GenAI pilots at companies are failing.</a>Of course, it’s all about context. And if you read more deeply into the research, the MIT study suggests that it’s not AI that’s broken – it’s that businesses and stakeholders are trying to avoid the essential “drag” that creates value. They’re relying on generic, brittle tools that aren’t designed with memory or learning loops.There’s also been <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/open-questions/is-ai-actually-a-bubble">talk of an “AI bubble”</a> that continues to permeate the zeitgeist. Based on past tech cycles, it’s not out of step to forecast an epic “burst” given the billions poured into the sector since 2022. We’re subjected to a regular dose of fear-mongering around this topic, but there's evidence that some of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortune.com/2025/09/03/what-previous-ai-winters-can-tell-investors-and-executives-about-what-might-be-coming-next-for-ai/">M&amp;A moats could be drying up.</a>Before you start chanting about the coming AI winter – buoyed by the notion that just 5% of GenAI pilots are yielding tangible results – many businesses still seem bullish about AI. That’s the sentiment reflected in new research from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.storyblok.com/">Storyblok</a>, which analyzed the field through the lens of content management. Recently, the CMS vendor surveyed 200 professionals at large-scale enterprises, targeting IT and procurement roles responsible for AI decision-making. The research focused on their 2026 planning, the hurdles faced in successfully adopting these technologies, their views on the major benefits of AI, and how it’s affecting their content management strategies. <figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:28.6%"><img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2025/12/dominik-angerer.jpg" alt="Dominik Angerer headshot" /></figure>Storyblok CEO and Co-founder, Dominik Angerer Storyblok uncovered several notable nuggets from the survey, chiefly surrounding budgets and spending. According to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominikangerer/">Dominik Angerer,</a> CEO and Co-Founder of Storyblok, companies seem poised to dedicate more funding to their AI initiatives despite any prognostications about an AI bubble bursting. “Our research paints an overwhelmingly positive business view of AI adoption as we look ahead to 2026,” he said. “Budgets look set to continue to grow robustly, and we have seen a significant increase in the number of businesses that say their adoption of AI is mature or fully integrated. There is also growing confidence that AI can and will deliver great ROI."I certainly noted this abundance of enthusiasm at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cmscritic.com/joy-to-the-content-world-storyblok-brings-ai-innovation-and-human-connection-to-joyconf-2025">Storyblok's JoyConf event</a> back in October, and the company is building momentum as it introduces more AI features and capabilities in this burgeoning field of AI-enhanced content management. Here are some highlights from the report that are putting wind in its sails. <h3 id="content-management-leads-the-pack-for-genai-impact">Content management leads the pack for GenAI impact</h3>Bullish is the word, and businesses seem prepared to put their money where their mouths are, with the majority leaning into more activity than the previous year.When asked about their AI investment plans for 2026, 57% said they expected it to “significantly increase,” 33% cited a “slight increase,” and 9% believed budgets would remain flat. Only 2% said they expected a reduction in their AI budget. But that’s predicting what’s ahead. For many, the optimistic forecast is built on previously successful outcomes or positive signals coming from existing pilots. For example, respondents said they have seen significant benefits from implementing AI technology, with 54% noting “operational efficiency gains” as the biggest ROI. This was followed by 48% citing a “faster time to value,” 43% noting “enhanced employee productivity,” and 41% stating “streamlined decision making” was the big benefit.Within the pantheon of targeted business applications, content management was cited as one of the top functions that generative AI would impact, with 91% saying it would improve this function within their organization. This makes sense given the strong adoption of AI across CMS tooling and workflows, presenting businesses with proven product features and solutions that already utilize AI to power workflows, drive personalization, orchestrate agents, and other AI-enabled capabilities that are fast becoming requirements of modern content management strategies. “Content management is one of the areas where there seems to be near-complete consensus on the transformational impact of AI,” Dominik said. <h3 id="geo-adoption-is-still-lagging">GEO adoption is still lagging</h3>As consumers shift their search behavior towards answer engines like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://chatgpt.com/">ChatGPT</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://search.google/ways-to-search/ai-mode/">Google’s AI Mode,</a> the harsh realities of decaying website traffic and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://searchengineland.com/zero-click-searches-up-organic-clicks-down-456660">“zero-click searches”</a> are settling in. How bad is it? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://searchengineland.com/search-engine-traffic-2026-prediction-437650">Gartner predicts</a> that by next year, traditional search engine volume will drop by a breathtaking 25%, with search marketing losing its share to AI chatbots and other virtual agents.To combat this phenomenon, brands are building beyond their current SEO strategies and embracing <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_engine_optimization">Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO</a> – the practice of adapting digital content and online presence management to improve visibility in results produced by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligence">generative artificial intelligence</a>. While GEO strategies present a real opportunity for addressing these realities, businesses are still behind. Acccording to Storyblok’s research, 41% had either not started or were in the early stages of adopting GEO, with only 23% saying they had a full strategy implemented. “With less than a quarter of businesses saying they have adapted to these changes,” Dominik codified, “it’s clear there’s a lot of work to be done to ensure businesses can regain confidence in their content.”Without a robust GEO strategy, businesses will struggle to fully optimize their content strategy in an AI-first world of consumer search habits. Clearly, organizations are lagging in this category, but there’s a growing awareness – and a compelling rationale – for getting on board quickly. <h3 id="security-and-data-privacy-are-top-concerns">Security and data privacy are top concerns</h3>AI might be the shining city on the hill, but it’s vulnerable – and that truth is being proven out on a regular basis. Along with performance-based risks relative to guardrails and policy issues, bad actors are exploiting flaws in frameworks and leveraging prompt injections to break walled gardens and elicit brand-damaging behavior. This can range from minor headaches to major security breaches.We’ve also reached a major inflection point in cybersecurity, where AI models have become powerful tools for safeguarding data privacy, but also for conducting state-sponsored attacks. In September, agentic capabilities were <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionage">used to manipulate Claude Code</a> and infiltrate global targets that included tech companies and financial firms.As such, it’s not surprising to learn that safety was the central concern for respondents in Storyblok’s survey. On a granular level, 61% cited data privacy and regulatory concerns as the biggest challenge in adopting or scaling AI solutions. This was followed by security risks at 58%, and legacy system restrictions at 43%.These hurdles were also reflected in how IT and procurement professionals felt AI adoption could become more successful. 62% said data governance and quality assurance needed to be improved. Meanwhile, 54% wanted better integration with existing systems, and 42% cited increased “vendor transparency.”Notably, only 12% of respondents mentioned “cost-effective pricing” as an area for improvement. This might further underscore that businesses aren’t yet concerned about the cost of AI – or letting the overall price tag stymie their progress.Security is a moving target. As Dominik also noted, despite positive traction, concerns regarding governance and regulatory compliance are likely to grow – and may inhibit AI adoption over the short and medium term. “However,” he said, “it is good news that the professionals in charge of AI procurement have these concerns top of mind.”<h3 id="why-it-matters">Why it matters</h3>As we roll into 2026, Storyblok’s survey provides a glimpse of AI sentiment – and, perhaps, a hopeful one. There are no crystal balls (or at least no reliable ones), and AI’s path has been difficult to gauge on both the foundational and emotional scale. Given the astounding growth and tumultuous rollercoaster of economic and legislative policy headwinds, the last year has proven just how unpredictable things can be.What’s encouraging is to see where the opportunities are for content management, and how stakeholders view it as an area for continued impact. With its intrinsic connection to search, this should light a fire under vendors and agencies to further augment their value and practices regarding GEO, which, based on the data, is not a fully-adopted strategy.Security should be foremost on everyone’s mind. As we rush to drive new AI-powered products and experiences to market, we could potentially expand the surface area for vulnerabilities. Like APIs, this also applies to the fabric of third-party solutions used to compose solutions. The latest example of this came just a few weeks ago, when a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://openai.com/index/mixpanel-incident/">security incident</a> occurred with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://openai.com/">OpenAI</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://mixpanel.com/home/">Mixpanel</a>, a data analytics provider. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.globaldata.com/store/report/agentic-ai-market-analysis/">According to GlobalData,</a> we've now entered the hyper-growth stage of agentic AI. That means everything is accelerating, and that includes the propensity for problems. As the earlier MIT report indicated, friction is a necessary component for assuring the performance of AI – and the same holds true for data privacy and governance. This is not a time to rely on generic, unproven tools; we need performant, well-maintained solutions from trusted sources. This is where vendors like Storyblok are positioning themselves not just as AI-powered platforms – but AI partners in success. <hr /><h4 style="text-align:center" id="looking-for-more-guidance-on-storyblok?-talk-to-an-expert.">Looking for more guidance on Storyblok? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cmscritic.com/contact">Talk to an expert.</a></h4><hr /> <h3 id="upcoming-events">Upcoming Events</h3> <img style="width:31.44%" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2025/08/cms-kickoff-2026-logo.png" alt="" /><h4 id="cms-kickoff-2026"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.boye-co.com/conferences/cmskickoff26">CMS Kickoff 2026</a></h4>January 13-14, 2026 – St. Petersburg, FLMeet industry leaders at our fourth annual CMS Kickoff – the industry's premier global CMS event.
