I've tried to vibe code small stuff a few times, but there's not one success story. After about 2-4 hours, I'd hit a wall, and ultimately threw it away, because it wasn't worth the manual programming effort it would have required (which is why I tried vibe coding it in the first place).

I think vibe coding might be more successful for people doing things an experienced developer can do in their sleep with a few lines of code in Django or something. Something a non programmer might have previously done with some no code tool.
