For me, vibe coding is becoming more of a niche. I still use it but not that often. I prefer the Codex style workflow in which you do spent a lot more time on specifying things, providing examples and reviewing PRs.

Essentially, vibe coding is synchronous as it is necessary to wait around for the LLM to respond. Codex is async and allows you to focus on other things while it is working. The primary issue with async workflows is you really don't want to have to iterate much. Therefore, investing more time upfront clearly defining the prompt / agents.md and prior examples becomes really important. Usually if it is > 90% correct I will just fix the rest myself. For hand coding, I use a fairly basic vim setup with no LLM plugins. I do not like LLMs jumping in and trying to auto complete stuff.

what is 'codex style workflow' ?
