AI Did It in 12 Minutes. It Took Me 10 Hours to Fix It

  For me it mostly is the same experience. Of course it is possible to steer AI a bit by writing rules for it to follow. But in the end, I'd never go live with a purely vibecoded app as of now, not only because it will be a maintenance hell but also due to its security issues which still occur a lot too.

  Same for me. I spent 3 days dealing with AI crap, following it's thinking "process". However it is great for "go add this username to this allowlist in this file"

  I was full on AI camp. I built a lot of useless stuff. I know deleted most of it and refactored it into an agile codebase with 40k lines less. My life is peace again. I now use ai for scratch tests and the next edit function from jet brains.

  Welp. if the system prompt says to do one thing, and you're going to do some other thing; that will never end well. More in general, I don't think there's good books on this yet. But if you want to try coding with AI, start out slow and scrutinize every edit first, get a feel for what kinds of mistakes are made and how they can be recovered from. AI doesn't quite work like a human does. It's also not a magic wand; sorry! It's great that you can sort of have an 'compile english' now, but programming is still a skill.
