I use Cursor and vibe code this stuff, it works great! I just built a flight tracker (I live in a flight path) that uses a SDR to receive ADS-B info from overhead flights and enrich it with flight info from the local airport, then display in a train station style flippy board. My wife loves knowing where the flights are going and so I display on our magic mirror
I know almost nothing about the underlying technologies, can barely code JS for the front end. But after about 10 hours of coding, I’ve got a very neat little app - it’s something that would have taken me 2 months then become abandonware after I got frustrated.
This was such a positive experience with vibe coding that it restored my love for code. Resulting quality seems pretty decent - maybe 1200 sLOC with good logging, performance, and what I would say is decent pro-am code quality. (IE above the median quality for typical commercial code, I’d bet)
