To be fair, the whole "vibe coding" thing is really really new stuff. It will undoubtedly take some time to optimize how to actually effectively do it.
Recently, we've seen a lot of a shift in insight into not just diving straight into implementation, but actually spending time on careful specification, discussion and documentation either with or without an AI assistant before setting it loose to implement stuff.
For large, existing codebases, I sincerely believe that the biggest improvements lie in using MCP and proper instructions to connect the AI assistants to spec and documentation. For new projects I would put pretty much all of that directly into the repos.
