Vibe coding is like whiskey—the first shot is easy. It's the next 10 that fuck you up.
Discussion
I can confirm. I am somewhat optimistic though. I have just finished using a 100% vibe-coded app that I needed in a hurry. It ran for a month without major incident, but man there are a thousand little bugs that I didn't dare ask it to fix, because that code was already mangled beyond my comprehension and everytime I asked for a fix it doubled the complexity of the code.
"Thank you for informing me of the actual structure of the config file, I have made that the default and have kept my original work as an optional format then added code to detect whether you chose to use your preferred format or mine."
I have started a complete human rewrite for next year so I can figure why it dead simple things, like getting a color value from the config only works sometimes.
And the next 100 will leave you broke
And this is why I stopped when my free tokens ran out
