Share your vibe coding stories

Wherever you code (online, CLI, or IDE), everyone has some love, hate or horror vibe coding stories, from building a prod-ready app in minutes to the whole repo got wiped. Would love to hear your story.

I’ve had both ends of the spectrum 😅
Best moment: using AI to scaffold a real feature in hours that would’ve taken days — tests, edge cases, even decent docs. Felt like cheating in the best way.
Worst moment: trusting a refactor suggestion a bit too much, running it, and realizing half the repo logic subtly changed. Nothing “broke” immediately, which made it even scarier.
Big lesson for me: vibe coding is amazing for momentum, but you still need checkpoints. Commit often, review diffs, and never let the AI touch things you can’t quickly roll back.
@alpertayfurr Thanks for sharing, Alper. Absolutely, trust in god, but don't forget to tie your camels :).
