There’s a real tension here.

If you are vibe-coding, this approach is definitely going to kill you buzz and lose all the rapid iteration benefits.

But if you are working in an existing large system, vibe coding is hard to bring into the core. So I think something more formal like OP is needed to reap major benefits from AI.

This is just AI-written slop, but even if you're vibe coding and want to go for rapid iteration, you still benefit by having the AI write out a broad plan of what it's going to do and looking it over before telling it to implement it. One-shot vibe coding is totally worthless, but the more you're aware of what the AI is thinking about and ready to revise its plans, the better it can potentially do.
