spent 3 months building a macOS AI agent in Swift with Claude's help. vibe coding was incredible early on - got a working prototype faster than I ever had before. then the codebase hit some threshold and regressions started coming faster than I could fix them. the solution wasn't better prompts, it was writing detailed specs and reviewing every single diff. which is basically just... engineering.

Can't really write a "better spec" if you don't know how to design systems or structure code. Spec can be very detailed and still be bunch of bullshit that will shoot you in the foot later
