But is it really vibe coding if you’re carefully building step by step and checking everything along the way? I feel like the kind of vibe coding people usually mean is more about blindly iterating until things work and patching bugs as they pop up—where you eventually get an app that runs, but it’s so messy that even a senior dev would struggle to audit or fully understand it.

The truth is I don't check everything along the way! That's part of my high scale, I can now work on a dozen projects instead of a couple because I'm freed up from having to read all of the code. A huge shift in mindset for sure, but it's been working great.
