It’s vibe coded lol.

There’s an anecdote that comes up in software about people working on missile software not caring about memory leaks because it’s going to explode anyway before that becomes an issue.

Who cares about bugs in your software if it’s a hobby project that’s going to blow up anyway.

Also, including Claude doesn’t inherently mean vibe coded, it can be for writing tests, small components, or debugging.

Using an LLM to write tests and small components is still vibe coding.

Vibe coding is you not reviewing what the model outputs. I read every line, often give feedback and tell the model about patterns I want to use.

I probably write like 60-70% of the code myself.
