Genuinely curious: are you actually vibe coding (as in not writing or looking at the code) or are you pair programming with a current model (eg. Sonnet or Opus) using plan -> agent -> debug loops in something like Cursor?

I haven’t written or looked at a single line of code. I do use plan though, and have a technical background but haven’t meaningfully coded in 15 years

I think it's great that you've gotten back into coding, even if you're hands-off for the time being.

However, I strongly urge you to leave not touching the code behind as a silly self-inflicted constraint. It is pretty much guaranteed to only get you to about 40% of the way there for anything more than a quick prototype.

Hardcore cyclists can confidently ride without touching their handlebars, but nobody is talking about getting their handlebars removed. It's just a goofy thing that you might try for a few seconds now and then on a lark.

That's vibe coding.
