> Our execs keep pushing "vibe-coding"

Imagine if wat (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat) appeared on the internet, and execs took it serious and suddenly asked people to actually explicitly make everything into JS.

This is how it sounds when I hear executives pushing for things like "vibe-coding".

> More often than not the LLM responses just start degrading massively to the point where they become useless and you need to start over

Yeah, this is true. The trick is to never go beyond one response from the LLM. If they get it wrong, start over immediately with a rewritten prompt so they get it right on the first try. I'm treating "the LLM got it wrong" as "I didn't make the initial user/system prompt good enough", not as in "now I'm gonna add extra context to try to steer it right".
