Beyond Vibe Coding: What Works, What Doesn’t — And What Comes Next

 


 

“Vibe coding” is trending in the Odoo ecosystem.

Developers connect AI tools like Anthropic Claude to Odoo.sh, generate modules, fix bugs, and move faster than ever before.

It’s exciting. It’s productive. It’s real.

But like every new wave, it has strengths — and limitations.

Let’s break it down honestly.

✅ The Pros of Vibe Coding

1️⃣ Speed

AI dramatically reduces boilerplate coding:

  • Models
  • Views
  • Access rules
  • Basic logic

For MVPs, this is powerful.

2️⃣ Rapid Experimentation

You can test:

  • New features
  • UI changes
  • Automation flows Without spending days coding manually.

3️⃣ Lower Entry Barrier

Junior developers can produce decent results faster. Small teams can deliver bigger projects.

This is a net positive for the ecosystem.

⚠️ The Cons of Vibe Coding

Here’s where reality starts.

1️⃣ Sandboxed Environments

Most implementations:

  • Live inside Odoo.sh
  • Have limited system control
  • Cannot orchestrate full infrastructure

You’re coding. But you’re not controlling the system.

2️⃣ AI as Assistant — Not Operator

In many cases:

  • AI suggests
  • Developer reviews
  • Developer deploys
  • Developer configures

AI is helping.

But it’s not executing.

3️⃣ Limited Automation Depth

True business automation requires:

  • Server-level control
  • External API orchestration
  • Event-driven workflows
  • Deployment pipelines
  • Data pipelines

Vibe coding usually stops at code generation.

What We’re Doing Instead

At Kobros-Tech Ltd, we took a different direction.

Instead of:

AI helping developers code

We built:

AI orchestrating ERP infrastructure.

Our stack includes:

  • n8n for event-driven automation
  • Odoo Community Edition with custom API layers
  • Claude running on a dedicated server with MCP tools
  • SSH-controlled deployment pipelines
  • Controlled command templates for safe execution

AI doesn’t just suggest code.

It:

  • Installs modules
  • Configures settings
  • Executes shell scripts (safeguarded)
  • Triggers integrations
  • Designs website pages
  • Automates workflows
  • Builds reports
  • Synchronizes external systems

That’s not vibe coding.

That’s AI-orchestrated ERP.

The Pros of This Approach

🚀 1️⃣ 90% Implementation Automation

From module install to configuration, most steps are automated.

🔗 2️⃣ Full Integration Capability

External systems can:

  • POST data
  • Trigger automation
  • Launch AI analysis

Through n8n, events become actions.

🔐 3️⃣ Infrastructure Control

With SSH + controlled templates:

  • No sandbox limitation
  • Real server orchestration
  • Controlled execution boundaries

📈 4️⃣ Business-Level Automation

Not just code. Actual:

  • Profit analysis
  • Pricing logic
  • Automated document flows
  • AI-enhanced decision pipelines

The Cons (Yes, There Are Some)

This model is more powerful — but it requires:

⚙️ 1️⃣ Strong Architecture Knowledge

You need:

  • DevOps understanding
  • Security isolation
  • Permission boundaries
  • Logging discipline

Otherwise, AI with shell access is dangerous.

🧠 2️⃣ Design Thinking

AI orchestration is not about prompts. It’s about system design.

If architecture is weak, automation becomes chaos.

💰 3️⃣ Initial Setup Investment

Infrastructure-level automation takes more upfront thinking than quick vibe coding.

But long term? It scales far better.

A Real Example

Our own platform:

👉 https://kobros-tech.com

Was largely AI-assisted.

It includes:

  • OCA module pricing logic
  • Automated module installation flows
  • Structured configuration
  • Integrated automation pipelines

It’s not just designed by AI. It’s orchestrated by AI.

The Real Question

Vibe coding is not wrong.

It’s a starting point.

But the next evolution is:

AI as Infrastructure Operator Not just Code Generator.

And this is where serious ERP automation will move.

Let’s Talk

I’m curious:

  • What’s your dream use case for AI in ERP?
  • Do you see AI as assistant — or operator?
  • What concerns you most about giving AI system-level control?
  • What would you automate first if you had safe orchestration?

Share your thoughts, ideas, dreams, opinions, or even criticisms.

I genuinely want to hear them.

And if you’re exploring AI-driven ERP automation or want to discuss architecture ideas, feel free to connect or reach out info@kobros-tech.com.

The conversation is just beginning.

How to Open Port 80 & 443 in FirewallD

 How to Open Port 80 & 443 in FirewallD FirewallD is the frontend management solution of iptables for most of the Linux distributions. It provides an easy-to-use command line and GUI-based interface to manage iptable rules. This tutorial describes to you to open port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS) in FirewallD. Allow Port 80 & 443 in FirewallD Using firewalld, you can allow/deny any port temporarily or permanently. The temporary allow/deny rules will be removed after the system reboot. But the permanent rules will persist even after the system restart. The following commands allow incoming traffic on TCP ports 80 and 443 in firewalld. sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp  sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp  The --permanent option insures to remain firewall rules after system reboots. sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp  sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp  Next, apply the c...
