Ok day X of vibe coding with replit and ... it's time to take a break.
I'm burnt. I was vibe coding all weekend, all Saturday night even, it's addictive. When it works, it's so engaging and fun. It's more addictive than any video game I've ever played. You can just iterate, iterate, and see your vision come alive. So cool.
Well, almost.
Then I spend 12+ hours over the weekend just doing QA + fixes, and it looked better at first ... but ... by the end things were working worse.
My app is basically just:
- algo (with AI)
- dashboard
- email / workflow
By Day 4, I'd finally sort of gotten the algo + dashboard to the state where it seemed to mostly work, and the emails were cool if not totally working right.
We had a lot of issues to overcome, but we kept at it.
