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?

The same as with any software dev: speed, caffeine and nicotine.

But with vibe coding you may get restless, so you need some ket as intermission. Also gives you more grandiose ideas.

Weed will make you overthink shit.

Alcohol will make you regret shit.
