Vibe Coding... or should we call it Dunning-Kruger Factory?


(author here) in a way, yes. you can see how I start with a god-mode euphoria, and slowly realise the vibe is mostly for boilerplates, and very (very) basic tasks.

"I freestyled with absolutely zero planification, and I'm paying the cost now as the product inches toward a production-ready form."

I'd say it helped me transition back into building, and even tho it can be (extremely) painful at times, I still enjoy ‘coding’ this way. These days I probably decide on and closely monitor 95% of the backend (and I'd probably be much faster coding some parts myself), but I still let Claude handle about 80% of the React bullshit I hate.
