ffs i can never get vibe coding to work, neither with o4-mini-high, nor with claude 3.7 sonnet thinking inside vscode copilot chat

what's the trick? how do you guys vibecode beyond code autocompletion?

do you keep talking to ai when it gets it wrong? what do you do when it breaks stuff instead of fixing it?

I do it in small increments with clear examples and narrow it down to specific parts of the codebase. Found it to work best with Gemini 2.5 but haven't tried it with Claude 4.

Note that this is working on an existing codebase with many large files. Might be easier on fresh codebases.

yep, i'm doing the same now, but it doesn't feel as "vibecoding"

e.g. i'm working on sendusdc.me now and the thing i'm asking for is ridiculously simple, yet it fails on so many levels

it almost feels like i need to: ask it to scaffold the code, use it, augment it, and then ask it to augment it further

this is semi-automatic, even probably more manual than semi-automatic, i want to keep telling ai what to change... but it fails at making these changes by either not getting what i'm writing or changing unrelated things

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Agree, what I do is not vibe coding at all.
It's always hit or miss.
The agent mode made it more useless because it always makes mistakes so it keeps iterating fixing its own mistakes or I stop it and tell it what it's doing wrong.
