Been vibe coding for the past couple of months on a large project. My mind is truly blown. Every day it's just shocking. And it's so prolific. Half a million lines of code in a couple of months by one dev. Seriously.
Note that it's not going to solve everything. It's still not very precise in its output. Definitely lots of errors and bad design at the top end. But it's a LOT better than without vibe coding.
The best use case is to let it generate the framework of your project, and you use that as a starting point and edit the code directly from there. Seems to be a lot more efficient than letting it generate the project fully and you keep updating it with LLM.

Why is this a good outcome?

smh.. why even.
are you hoping for investors to hire a dev for you?

hm. i guess you never learned about templates?
vue: npm create vue@latest
react: npx create-react-app my-app
Terrible examples. lol. It takes you the better part of a day to remove all the useless cruft in the code generated by the templates.

Not that you have any obligation to share, but... can we see?
45 implementations of linked lists.. sure of it.
Can't now. Can only show publicly when it's released at an upcoming trade show. But it's a CAD app with many, many models and views.
People have no imagination either.
This is all fine now.
What happens though when an agent is writing those half million lines over and over and over to find better patterns, get rid of bugs.
Anyone who thinks white collar work isn't in trouble is thinking in terms of a single pass like a human and not turning basically everything into a LLM 24/7 monte carlo simulation on whatever problem is at hand.
