It just can't seem to handle fine nuanced details outside of the training data. I am trying to get it to do complicated engineering calculations to be fair. I run into frequent hallucinations. And when I write C or C++, it's allocation strategies are terrible and unmaintainable. The one thing I've got it to perform well at was writing a basic fast API service. It got the scaffolding up pretty quick. Or writing large amount of boilerplate.

Are you trying to vibe code the whole program at once or piece by piece?

Small sections within the same context with explicit instructions for each step. I usually waste more time than I save, so I've recently just taken AI out of my workflow completely other than as a stack overflow replacement. Even then, I often find just slowing down and reading the docs like I used to more helpful.

With the app I made, I used Python 3.13. Building the foundation and making sure it works the way I need to through the command line, then building the GUI and being very specific on what I want
