I’ve also found it useful for simple Python scripts when I need to analyze data. I don’t use pandas/scipy/numpy/matplotlib enough to remember the syntax and library functions. With vibe coding it, I can have a script in minutes for reading a csv with weird timestamps, scale some of the channels, filter out noise or detrending, perform a Fourier transform, and do a curve fit towards a model.

But then obviously I know every intermediate step I want to do.

Disgusting.

Might not be hot, but it is sticky.

As a non-programmer who’s occasionally dabbled with wxPython, I’ve entangled myself with self.parent.parent and their childs/siblings more than once. At that stage I know my project is done.

In similar cases I’ve passive-aggressively intentionally misunderstood and/or acted confused. E.g. “Yes, we can set ut up an API between X and Y, but what exactly do you want the bot to do?” Then let them elaborate until it’s clear they’re not asking for a bot.
