Vibe coding is controversial. nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3g4h5cp7 claims to code features as fast as he can think of them with the same quality as hand-coded and others claim to be slower vibe coding than hand coding stuff.

The truth is probably in between and my experience is that it's easier to get going on a challenging task but ultimately it's a lot of cleaning up after the AI, so maybe I'm faster cause I get started at all but then, cleaning up after the AI costs a lot of effort and often results in me abandoning tasks.

That said, the very near future will probably be "coding as fast as I can come up with features". Maybe it's only missing a context window big enough to grasp the entirety of the project to hook the feature in where it belongs and use the tools that are already implemented ... or at least use the programming languages already used in the project. But I suspect, a bit more than token count will be needed but it will come within a year or two.
