Can't help but feel the author hasn't actually vibe coded with Claude Code or Gemini CLI. Had a simple need for an GUI desktop app to package up folders of documents and produce an inventory sheet of what was in the folder and a companion archive of the folder. Should be as simple as a user dragging and dropping the folder onto the app. 5 minutes with "vibe coding" and a working app existed. I looked through the code and it was clean, effective, and minimal enough while maintaining human readability. It's a tool to solve some problems. Not a tool to solve all problems. And the vibe coding of today is so much different (better) than that of even 6 months ago.

Seems pretty good for getting a vague idea of what a library can do in a demo project.
