I think my problem is that I think by coding. It makes it very uncomfortable to switch to planning mode and let someone else have all the fun of actually building. But I think this is the right way to use it.

This 💯 which is my main grip and struggle as well

I felt the same way with main projects, but starting from scratch is much easier, just make me a prototype and we'll figure it out. There are enough important pieces to think about and leave mundane to the bot

Vibe coding is much more useful for product managerish developers. Those who plan all aspects of their work upfront before writing any line of code. Unfortunately I'm not that kind of developer,

More often than not, what needs to be built isn't really clear and programming by hand is the way to figure out what it should look like.

The time it would take to write out the specification, would have resulted in the actual code completed so that isn't a win by any stretch.

It is useful for short scoped task where the outcome is clear like for example adding a search bar to the top of the page etc or a web worker to move an existing function that already works well.

Anything beyond that is just torture for me.
