That workflow itself is what the author is calling a "vibetax". Models are getting worse for users that must review every line of code the models edits or adds. Models are writing more line of code, changing more lines of code,executing more tools, and making it harder for the user to monitor, control, and review.

if i wanna write a web-app or python script; the models are better than ever. If i want to fix a specific bug in a established and trusted legacy cobe-base; Haiku 4.6 does a better job than Opus 5.0, because it does what it's told and nothing more.

The author wanted a todo-list starting-point; realistically 200 rows of html+CSS without the back-end. Heck, they may not even want to make a todo-app, but thought a todo-app would be a decent starting-point. So why would we ever want a model to spend a weeks worth of tokens on everything except the request the user asked? This is not a cost issue; this is a control issue.
