"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.

It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it'll get you to that MVP very fast.

The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it's own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.

It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It's been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.
