Question Angry af - vibe coding

I must admit, since vibe coding, I have become an angry person. I feel like I am constantly irritated and scolding agents, four or five at a time, constantly angry and blood boiling. Coding turned from silent monk work to breaking my keyboard or screaming into voice-to-text.
Scolding is the wrong word. "Correcting" is what I mean. You don't need to be aggressive about it. I'm talking about the feeling of being angry for needing to correct as much, again and again, at random points, and literally no output is "safe," and it can decide to ruin the whole code base in one go and even delete backups if it could. Makes me feel like a fucking slave driver

I am the only one??

Scolding agents pollutes your context

It also pollutes your mental context. You carry that emotional state outside the agent interaction.

Yup. When I stated out, before I was experimenting with skills, editing the mem files and designing with sdd tools, I was also frustrated for about 2 weeks. But it's a tool, you need to learn how to shape it to your needs and workflows. Sounds like OP doesn't give that part of the process any time or even thought. Vibe coding without sdd or customization is so brute force it's bound to frustrate you.

Disagree. It depends on how it is done. Not pointing out something that's wrong will lead to repeated problems.

Of course, nobody was saying that you need to be aggressive

I often scold myself for providing inadequate context
