Beyond Vibe Coding: From Coder to AI-Era Developer

Addy Osmani · O'Reilly (beyond.addy.ie) Paid Intermediate

Osmani is a Google engineering leader, and this book draws the exact line your question cares about: the spectrum from throwaway prototyping to code you can actually run in front of users. He covers how to set goals and constraints for the AI, review what it writes critically, and handle security, which is precisely the judgment that keeps a hybrid app from falling over. Read it when you want to go past guessing and understand what you are shipping.

• Prototyping and production-grade code are different modes, know which one you are in
• Your job shifts from writing code to directing and reviewing it
• Security and edge cases are where unreviewed AI code quietly breaks
