AI solutions that are almost right, but not quite;Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming
I'm exploring vibe coding through using IDE's like Windsurf, but I don't use vibe coding for any substantial bug fixing or complex tasks because it's usually quicker to write the code myself than have the AI agent generate a lot of verbose code that I have to QC. For example, I would vibe code a proof-of-concept, hackathon, or other exploratory type of project with low stakes. I'd also vibe code to learn a bit about something new for me (like building a RAG pipeline). It would never be anything production-grade.
