I’ve definitely hit that same pattern in the early iterations, but for me it hasn’t really been a blocker. I’ve found the iteration loop itself isn’t that bad as long as you treat it like normal software work. I still test, review, and check what it actually did each time, but that’s expected anyway. What’s surprised me is how quickly things can scale once the overall architecture is thought through. I’ve built out working pieces in a couple of weeks using Claude Code, and a lot of that time was just deciding on the architecture up front and then letting it help fill in the details. It’s not hands-off, but used deliberately, it’s been quite effective https://robos.rnsu.net
I agree that it can be very useful when used like that but I'm referring to fully vibe-coding, the "I've never looked at the code"-people. CC is a great tool when you use plan carefully, review its work, etc but people are building things they say they've never read the code for and that just hasn't been my experience, it always falls over on it's own if I'm not in the code reviewing/tweaking.
