Currently, my life choices oscillate between

- Hand-code it and get it right the first time but spend 4 hours trying to understand how this obscure javascript framework works?

- Vibe-code it in 5 minutes, works right away but and spend 4 hours debugging and cleaning up garbage code it left in there?

Why the 4hr cleanup afterward if it works?

If you don't clean up after your agent it will create a massively convicted clusterfuck that accumulates garbage with every new feature you add. Makes it virtually impossible to maintain, optimize, and debug in the future.

Happened to me in 100% of all vibe projects I ever touched.

And vibing the refactor doesn't help? Like outlining what is wrong with the impl and putting boundaries on what should be changed.

I do that, it still accumulates garbage.

So we need a garbage collector for the vibes.
