AI Tools, Code Quality, Nepal, Software Development, Vibe CodingAbstract
AI tools enable users to generate executable code from natural-language descriptions via a technique known as vibe coding. Developers can quickly create software using vibe coding, which lowers the barrier to entry for non-developers and democratizes the creation of software. Vibe coding is likely to greatly enhance the ability of entrepreneurs, small businesses, and individuals in Nepal who have limited opportunities to pursue formal programming education to quickly design functional applications. However, because it employs a fast-paced development approach, there are concerns about the quality, security, and long-term maintainability of implementation of code by users without a background in software technology. The benefits and challenges of vibe coding in Nepal will be examined in this study to include an analysis of user experiences and its overall impact on software development practices and the growing technology ecosystem in Nepal while considering the inherent risks associated with the adoption of vibe coding to ensure a balance between accessibility and security.
