I have not done any vibe coding and have a question for those who have.
Suppose you request a change, adding features, changing things around based on learning and testing, which is generally what happens after you've been working on something new.
Here's the question. What happens when you ask for a change that requires the codebase to be reorganized.
How did that go? Do the AIs know that's possible or do they just pile on special cases?
@davew It’s been a mixed bag for me but mostly leans towards success. :) As suggested above, maintaining context with the tools is the key factor.
Sometimes, responses to follow-up prompts often include snippets of code that, while correct, can sometimes be hard to see where they need to be applied as a change/addition/subtraction. I find myself prompting to, “Please provide the complete implementation with this update included.” and that (almost always) works.
It does feel magical,
though. 🪄
