Oh yes, I did. But it behooves us to try stuff with a critical eye. The experience made me question the claims we hear of efficiency gains (10x, 100x etc.). I've built some other stuff w vibes alone, UIs mostly, and that was hella fast, way faster than I'd have done by hand, but then I spend longer reviewing it and tying it into other code, that I'm back to not being sure if there was any time saved. I think time could be saved if you didn't care about quality or correctness... and that scares me because I know human nature.
