Is it just me, or is vibe coding only useful for greenfield projects that have minimal complexity? Seems like they collapse once enough complexity has built up.

I've tried to vibe code small stuff a few times, but there's not one success story. After about 2-4 hours, I'd hit a wall, and ultimately threw it away, because it wasn't worth the manual programming effort it would have required (which is why I tried vibe coding it in the first place).

I think vibe coding might be more successful for people doing things an experienced developer can do in their sleep with a few lines of code in Django or something. Something a non programmer might have previously done with some no code tool.
