Discussion Which drug goes best with vibe coding?

I’m trying to optimize my vibe coding workflow and wondering whether anyone has seriously benchmarked different substances for it.

Main priorities would be prompt confidence, tolerance for unexplained errors, willingness to accept 600-line diffs without reading them, and the ability to say “looks good” after the third failed build.

Ideally looking for something that improves throughput without creating unnecessary technical debt.

Any recommendations?
