So I had my first experience "vibe coding" today; my boss has an Excel sheet report that needs to be matched and updated week to week, and it was a manual job. I figured I'd just see how far this vibe coding stuff could automate it by writing a Python script. To my surprise it was pretty capable. Yes, it did some stupid stuff like hard coding and simple errors, but simply telling it the output is enough for it to fix things. Did it take probably a good 30 min to an hour to build? Yes. But at no point did I need to rely on my programming knowledge and most of it was waiting for it to return. Plus my boss had some feature creep since it was going well. I can definitely see why people are worried about where this is going, because it's definitely getting to a "good enough" place for simple engineering tasks.
