for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.
@mntmn I would say I mostly just use an editor, but every now and then, generating some throw-away utility or getting some initial setup going is nice. Spending 15 minutes less typing does not matter if your recompile loop takes two hours or getting a review takes 3 days.
