I tried to vibe code a web app with windsurf and found it appeared to do really well in the beginning. But I had to harsh the vibes in two types of scenarios it couldn’t understand or solve on its own: performance and css animation.

When I copy paste via ChatGPT I direct the model on what to do and retain responsibility and understanding of all code getting saved.

I do really like Cascade in windsurf because it does a decent job of parsing the entire codebase and finding the spot to make changes. But I think I’ll probably be most successful combining my approaches and using Cascade at a coding level not a “vibe” level
