Quite disappointed by vibe coding.
Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a landing page project with quite a few GSAP animations, some ThreeJS, all built with SvelteKit and hosted on Cloudflare. I'm working on this project with a designer friend who has some development knowledge. He can do HTML/CSS/JS and use GSAP. We often work together — he finds clients, handles project management, UI and UX, while I take care of the development side. Since I don't really have a strong "graphic eye", our usual workflow was: I lay the foundations, handle the animations, and let him come back over everything for easing and fine-tuning. Since AI came along, things have gotten a lot more complicated. Don't get me wrong — I use Claude myself to get oriented, review my code, analyse a project, or generate boilerplate code. But I always review the output. My friend, on the other hand, uses it in full vibe coding mode. I just got the latest version of this landing page where he'd pushed his changes, and I was pretty shocked. The code is massively over-engineered for no good reason, hard to follow, and a genuine nightmare to debug. Claude made everything far more complex than it needed to be. To avoid this kind of situation going forward, we've started putting a few ground rules in place: a mandatory review before any merge, and certain core files that only I touch. Not a perfect solution, but it helps keep things from spiraling. Has anyone else had the same kind of experience with vibe coding ? I mean, it does work, but the output feels bloated. Edit : As some people noticed it, i've used an AI to translate that text into english and re-phrase it, since i'm not really fluent in english (isn't that ironic lol). submitted by /u/frenchy_mustache [link] [留言]
