Maybe other folks’ vibe coding experiences are a lot richer than mine have been, but I read the article and reached the opposite conclusion of the author.

I was actually pretty impressed that it did as well as it did in a largely forgotten language and outdated platform. Looks like a vibe coding win to me.

Sure it did ok with examples that are easily found in a text book like drawing a circle.

Here's an example of a recent experience.

I have a web site that is sort of a cms. I wanted users to be able to add a list of external links to their items. When a user adds a link to an entry, the web site should go out and fetch a cached copy of the site. If there are errors, it should retry a few times. It should also capture an mhtml single file as well as a full page screenshot. The user should be able to refresh the cache, and the site should keep all past versions. The cached copy should be viewable in a modal. The task also involves creating database entities, DTOs, CQRS handlers, etc.

I asked Claude to implement the feature, went and took a shower, and when I came out it was done.

Im pretty new to CC, been using it in a very interactive way.

What settings are you using to get it to just do all of that without your feedback or approval?

Are you also running it inside a container, or setting some sort of command restrictions, or just yoloing it on a regular shell?

So CC has a planning mode. Shift-Tab twice to enter planning mode. I wrote out about a paragraph of text for this and it gave me back a todo list. I said "make it so" and it went and did it.

Let us know how the security audit by human beings on the output goes.

It's really just a personal project for myself. Why else would I add that feature without any guardrails?

The auditors are using llms too!
