A few days back, I tried to implement a PDF reader by pure vibe coding. I used all my free Antigravity, Cursor, and Co-pilot tokens to create a half-baked, but working Next.js PDF-reader that (to be honest) I wouldn't have glued together without 2 weeks of work. As an MLE, I have done negligible web development using JavaScript and have mostly worked with Python and C.
But the struggle actually started after the free tokens were exhausted. I was feeling anxious to even look into those Next.js files. I am not able to describe, but it was probably some kind of fear - fear of either not being able to debug/implement a new feature, or not willing to put in precious hours (precious because of FOMO that I could do something cool with AI-paired vibe coding) to understand and build the feature myself.
I abandoned that project since that day. Haven't opened it yet - partly because I am waiting for the renewal of free tokens.
