I'm always curious when I see these stories. How long have you been doing this, for what sort of work, and was the codebase mature before you began working like this?

Yeah, this one is easy: I have been doing this for half a year. I have a couple of projects worked out this way, all green-field projects, code base grew from 0 to tens of thousand of lines each.
That is interesting. Half a year is not nothing and I expect it's harder to keep a project functioning when the base is vibe coded rather than having mature abstractions and architecture already.

I am still skeptical on this method's ability to deliver polished products though. I've kept an eye out on it in the OSS world and don't think I've seen big anything yet.
