    Recently I roo-coded a node.js MVP without knowing too much about Node, but something about JS/CSS/HTML although it’s years ago I last used it.

    I got something working decently by:

    • Make a project plan and use cases
    • Take (very) small steps
    • Commit often
    • Throw away bad attempts
    • Make test cases
    • Hand edit from time to time, especially CSS stuff.

    Would I have been able to fling something together by reading some node.js guides and using stack overflow yes, would it have taken around the same time yes, but without test cases and documentation. Do I think vibe coding is the best thing since sliced bread no!
