For me n=1 vibe-coding efforts, I found Opus 4.6 better than Opus 4.7. 4.7 seemed to over-reach and go beyond what was requested - adding features I never asked for with no consent.

While I think you would be stupid to try and vibe-code EG a banking platform or SAP, I do think there is a lot of scope for small apps that can solve a particular issue. I've just vibe-coded a mobile app, and I'm comfortable doing

You think Lenin is alive now? Name a gender-critical left wing party.

by gadders 6mo ago
