I spent the last seven days doing nothing but vibe coding with one simple rule complete a working project every single day
No planning no designing just pure intention to execution flow
The first day was rough I kept wanting to tweak the AI generated code directly like we used to do in traditional programming But that violates one of the core principles Do Not Manually Edit Code
By day three something clicked I stopped thinking about code structure and focused entirely on expressing clear intentions The AI became my assembler connecting capabilities I described rather than writing lines myself
Heres what shocked me most I completed seven distinct projects in seven days A data visualization tool a simple game an API connector a text analyzer a scheduling assistant a budget tracker and a learning dashboard
Each project started as a single intention prompt like create an interactive budget tracker that categorizes expenses and shows spending trends over time
The AI would generate the initial version then I would refine my prompts based on what worked and what didnt This iterative prompt refinement became my new coding workflow
Speed running taught me that vibe coding isnt about typing faster its about thinking clearer When you know exactly what you want the AI can assemble it remarkably quickly
I found myself treating code as disposable consumables as the principles suggest If something wasnt working I would rewrite the intention prompt rather than debug the generated code
The real magic happened when I started connecting these micro programs together Using standardized interfaces they began forming larger systems without me designing the architecture upfront
This experience changed how I view software development Were moving from construction workers to architects from writing bricks to designing blueprints
The future isnt about writing better code its about expressing better intentions
