Trouble
I don’t even know the code
the agent does
Fix
it patches something
I clap like I helped
Clear
screen looks calm
I understand nothing
Try
I follow where it points
like a tourist in my own project
Try
it loops me around again
another trouble
new error
familiar confusion
Fix
agent says “done”
I say “sure”
more trouble
I realize I’ve been walking circles
on a map I can’t read
coding via agent feels like
being dragged through a maze
by someone who swears
they’ve been here before
vibe coding caught me.
not stuck on hard problems.
stuck on tiny choices that almost land.
swap this. nudge that.
eight hours later — nothing I’d proudly commit.
the loop isn’t “building”.
it’s waiting for that brief internal nod: yeah, that feels right.
somewhere along the way
the product stopped moving
but I didn’t.
