I'm a senior engineer doing React development since 2015, so I'm capable of writing the code myself. I've found, that I'm more productive if I guide this process using English from a middle to high level of guidance. I frequently mention specific names/properties/commands in my prompts. I mostly do bite-size queries. However, I almost don't touch the source code with bare hands anymore.
As I discussed this topic with friends, I've met people with polar experiences. Some of my friends who need to do web apps using React-TS are very happy with vibe coding. They report productivity boost. Some people even report ability to do things they couldn't do otherwise: desingers, product managers, backend engineers.
However, I've also heard of many negative experiences. People who write for Android, iOS, Telegram bots, Rust, even some Python scripts, report small to zero productivity boost and report uselessness of current Cursor-like experience.
I suspect that's because even Sonnet-3.7 is weak for languages and frameworks which aren't top-1 (top-3?).
If you've tried vibe coding for the last 6 months, can you mention your tech stack and whether your experience was positive or negative?
