> No surprise, really. You can use AI to explore new horizons or propose an initial sketch, but for anything larger than small changes - you must do a rewrite. Not just a review. An actual rewrite. AI can do well adding a function, but you can't vibe code an app and get smarter.
Sometimes I wonder if people who make statements like this have ever actually casually browsed Twitter or reddit or even attempted a "large" application themselves with SOTA models.
You can definitely vibecode an app, but that doesn't mean that you can necessarily "get smarter"!
An example: I vibecoded myself a Toggl Track clone yesterday - it works amazingly but if I had to rewrite e.g. the PDF generation code by myself I wouldn't have a clue!
