That has been my experience as well. My top comment talks about building an AI app, but that app is not being vibe coded. I know the article talk about how Base44 was entirely vibe coded but TBH i find that very hard to believe.

The other day I tried to legit vibe code for about an hour and Claude could barely build a weather app that used NWS data for me. Even with this toy weather app it collapsed a few features in, simply put the context windows of these AI tools is just not large enough. I think vibe coding _might_ be viable once context windows start growing into the 5-10M token range but even then I'm skeptical.
