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'm vibecoding a trading bot now. Have some good progress. Using Cline with VSCode. The model is mostly Gemini 2.5 Pro for free credits. Sonnet 3.7 Also good, but context window is way less and it's crazy expensive (but I heard you can get AWS credits for startup). Also it's important to setup a memory bank:

But sometimes I still find him running in loops. Have to stop and ask to try a different approach.
Also In .clinerules I asked to keep all files smaller than 400 lines to make him less struggle.

cline is actually quite the cheatcode - considering the amount of usage it gets by being an extension to code
