Vibe coding is a self perpetuating feedback loop of hallucinations. The more complex the project gets, the worse the problems. The agent reads its own prior code, which biases it to the prior approach. That bias just pushes issue further, buries them deeper, and you don’t find out until the product is done enough to actually look at it.
I knew a guy who wanted his vibe coding project to display the page count in a PDF. I showed him a super simple python script to do it, but it wasn’t usable for him because his shitty implementation was so unmanageable, so grotesquely over and under engineered at the same time, … he rather spent hours trying and failing to get the AI agent to implement my feature for him.
