There are three or four projects I've always wanted to do, but were frontloaded with a lot of complexity and drudgery.

Maybe the best feature of vibe coding is that it makes the regret factor of poor early choices much lower. Its kind of magic to go "you know what, I was wrong, let's try this approach instead" and not having to spend huge amounts of time fixing things or rewriting 80% of the project.

It's made it a lot more fun to try building big projects on my own, where I would go into decision paralysis or prematurely optimize and never start the meat or learning of the core project.

Its also been nice to have agents review my projects for major issues, so I feel more confident sharing them.
