> At the risk of veering off topic, I think the super power that vibe coding gives you is the capability to experiment quickly, so you can figure out how to simplify something.

"Quickly" is relative. If you can produce software quickly, that'll become the expected speed, so it's no longer treated as quickly and we will get back to the same situation.

I’m not suggesting that you vibe code the solution; I’m saying you vibe code the prototype.

		Rapid prototyping is certainly a good use case for AI, but I don't see it really working for larger work projects where design complexity make be an issue. Certainly considering how all the parts interact is part of brainstorming alternate system designs, but I think high level architecture / project-decomposition (design) has to occur before prototyping (coding) would be applicable. Design/architecture by vibe coding doesn't sound good, but using AI to brainstorm different architectures (before any coding begins) might be useful.
