Would be interesting to see an in depth breakdown on a project that has went through the vibe code to cleanup pipeline in full. Or even just a 'heavy LLM usage' to 'cleanup needed' process. So, if the commits were tagged as LLM vs human written similar to how it's done for Aider[0]: At which point does the LLM capability start to drop off a cliff, which parts of the code needed the most drastic refactors shortly after?

Interesting idea for some kind of blog post:

* come up with requirements for a non-obvious system

* try to vibe-code it

* clean it up manually

* add detailed description and comparisons of before and after; especially, was it faster or slower than just writing everything manually in the first place?

My suspicion is that for any experienced dev this is slower every time

It is only faster when the person doing the work probably could not have built the thing themselves in the first place

		That's also my intuition, but I would like to test and measure it against a real and non-obvious system use case; some day I will and will write about it :)
