Every time I see something like this, I wonder what kind of programmers actually do this. For the kinds of code that I write (specific to my domain and generates real value), describing "X", "Y", and "Z" is a very non-trivial task.

If doing those is easy, then I would assume that the software isn't that novel in the first place. Maybe get something COTS

I've been coding for 25 years. It is easier for me to describe what I need in code than it is to do so in English. May as well just write it.

20 here, mostly in C; mixture of systems programming and embedded work.

My only experience with vibe-coding is when working under a time-crunch very far outside of my domain of expertise, e.g., building non-transformer-based LLMs in Python.
