Thoughts about Vibe Engineering

I've been using AI coding tools for quite a long time already. I didn't like it at first idn why and it took me about 1 year to fully adopt the new world order. At the beginning I thought I code better and faster, build better architecture etc but it turned out I either wasn't right or wrong. The whole programming approach just changed, that's all. And if you don't adopt to new way of coding you'll just left behind a lot from other people. Face it bruh. 

I remember when ChatGPT released I didn't give a shit much. I barely use it and my brain just don't accept it. I thought like "i'm a really good at googling why the heck i need to explain everything to a stupid robot". After some time Cursor was released and it was cool to prompt side by side to the code, i'm not a big fan of VSCode tho. That was the second step of declining. Finally Claude Code got into the scene, I tried it a bit and after that life changed.

I can definitely say that I don't write much code by myself anymore, only in cases when CC fucked up. It works! I mean I deliver features faster, fix bugs faster, do everything faster especially in the areas I'm not quite fluent i.e. devopsing and coding in unfamiliar languages. The quality of code is absolutely enough to cover my needs, most of us don't ship lunar ships. 

The vibecoding concept still feels odd to me(when you just say "here is the result i'm expecting, go and implement it whatever it takes"). I prefer to move step by step and refine requirements on demand. I feel more controled that way. 

There's no bottom line, just wanted to spread some thoughts around. What tools do u use daily?
