About the risk that vibe coding may go astray. Some irresistible quotes:
> […] Claude is a fuckin' slot machine, not a human. Every query is a pull of the lever, with potentially infinite upside or downside. It's addictive, sure. Lots of dopamine and adrenaline, and what's more, over time, your outcomes are even improving. But your slot machine doesn't "get" you. You don't have a beautiful rapport with it. You're just getting better at prompting, and getting consequently luckier with your pulls. Any bond you might perceive there is illusory.
and
> Paraphrasing astronaut Frank Borman, you should be using your superior judgment (only vibe code when there's an instant Undo) to avoid having to use your superior skill (vibe coding your way out of the mess you made.)
