Is Your AI App Ready to Ship? John Sedlak Talks Vibe Coding and Production Readiness with CMS Critic

Vibe coding has changed how fast an idea becomes something you can click on. A team with a good prompt and an afternoon can stand up a working prototype that would have taken weeks not long ago. That speed is real, and it's valuable.

But a prototype that works in a demo and an application that holds up under real traffic, real users, and real security scrutiny are two very different things. The distance between them is where projects stall, budgets stretch, and launch dates slip.

CMS Critic recently sat down with John Sedlak, RDA's Director of AI Innovation, to talk about that gap: why the leap from a vibe-coded proof of concept to production is getting riskier, and what happens when a promising POC meets the real world without a plan. 

John also explains how RDA's free Production Readiness Review helps teams close that gap.
