I successfully vibe coded an app in 2023, soon after VS Code Copilot added the chat feature, although we obviously didn't call it that back then.

I remember being amazed and at the time thinking the game had changed. But I've never been able to replicate it since. Even the latest and greatest models seem to always go off and do something stupid that it can't figure out how to recover from without some serious handholding and critique.

LLMs are basically slot machines, though, so I suppose there has always been a chance of hitting the jackpot.
