I think there is a huge gap between people who has a good CLAUDE.md (or similar), or those who doesn’t.

When I first tried, the created code was garbage. Now that I slowly built my memory, several thousands of manually written examples and guidance, it can generate quite reliably, when it doesn’t need literally anything outside of those…

That being said, most of the vibe coded codebases (in reality every single one which I saw) use garbage memory, and consequently have garbage output.

So the same thing is terrible and great at the same time. People who give time, and people who is fine producing garbage (huge majority) says it’s great. People who just tried it out, and don’t have the luxury to potentially waste days and weeks, say that it’s bad. All of these are true at once.
