Full Vibing in a Walled Garden

If you don't understand code at all or for whatever reason, you don't want to put hands on code for this project, you can use helpful tools to do everything for you and hide the code and the agent from you. You just prompt and eventually you can get a system.

The flow

Software Engineer
Agent
01
The software engineer starts by prompting a system endpoint.

Prompts for step 01

A mobile app that counts things

A website where horses can meet other horses

02
The Agent evaluates app type, and prompts for Gaps.

Prompts for step 02

should the app run on both IOS and Android?

Should we include geldings or only breeding horses?

03
The software engineer answers questions.
04
The agent builds the system and hosts it inside some sort of sandbox for review.
05
The software engineer tests the system and prompts bugs or changes
06
Repeat untill done
07
The interaction ends.

How it Stacks Up

Speed

Highest

Control

Lowest

You might not even see the code. You may be able to 'eject' from the platform and have it dump out the code but then you need to work with a huge codebase you have never seen before #fun or find a software engineer with more skill who can do that for you #expensive.

Quality

Low to Medium

Depends on the implementation. There is scope within these products to leverage DRY principles, managed orchestration, guard rails, multi agent cross checking systems etc.

Safety

Low to Medium

Depends on the Implementation.

Brainrot

Highest

Complete handoff of all responsibility for both code and architectural decisions. You learn nothing.

Token use

High

This is a guess, AFAIK, these services don't show you how many tokens you are using.
