I had a similar situation - I once wanted to grab some web pages and parse them in Python, and was going to use Python's built-in libraries for that, and use BeautifulSoup to parse them. But then I realized I'd have to read enormous code bases I didn't write, which felt like it would take forever.

(Obviously, this post is tongue-in-cheek, but I'm making a real point - almost all code we use is code we didn't write. I don't think that's what differentiates Vibe coding code.)
