I vibe coded an app and I'm kind of embarrassed how happy I am with the result and how much fun it was!
I'm a senior dev with 20+ years of experience. In my day job, I started to use Claude Code to carefully craft pull requests. Which works quite well in projects where I can point Claude to existing code like "do it similar to this feature" etc.
But this was different. It started when I needed to combine audio tracks from two versions of the same movie. I was putting together ffmpeg commands, manually figuring out sync offsets, and thought hm, let's vibe code a UI for that.
Three days later I have a full Electron app. Yes, Electron. I know. My RAM knows too. But I don't care! It was just soo much fun just thinking about the next little feature I need and want to do and how fast I could iterate. The feedback loop was addictive.
And it works, it solves my problem, and I actually finished a side project for once. Any one else having this experience?
