Helped: Vibe-coding new features for an open source project.

Got in the way: Ignored instructions and failed to use libraries.

Yeah, I released a new version of a little open source project based almost entirely on vibe-coding with Claude/Codex. It was more fun than bashing out my own code, and despite all the problems others have mentioned (ignored instructions, not using libraries, etc.), it was probably faster than if I'd added the new features myself.
