I haven’t encountered any problems
Yes. “Vibe coding” is already part of my day-to-day work. I use language models to transform written ideas into functional solutions—whether it's generating complex Excel formulas or prototyping JavaScript scripts for simulations and analysis. These systems not only accelerate my workflow but also amplify my creative capacity. Through prompt engineering, I find more efficient ways to structure code, identify patterns, and experiment with solutions that would otherwise take hours to build manually.
