Anyone have a solution for this? (Vibecoding bug fixes)


When I am vibe coding, I've experienced the exact issue Ilya is talking about. For example, when I have to work with APIs, 50 to 60% of my time on building the actual website goes towards fixing either version compatibility issues or API related errors.

I've found that the AI circles around a specific issue, often not aware that either I have not done something right during the integration or just plainly thinks it's found the problem, fixes what it thinks to be the problem and then vice versa until 2 hours later where I've exhausted a fuckton of tokens and the issue is fixed.

So I am thinking, that maybe we can somehow instruct the AI to focus on more the actual tasks at hand instead of spiraling into a loop. There must be a way to one-shot bug detection but I've not found it. Perhaps a well written bug-detection & fix directive?

I am not an experienced coder, I cannot code at the level of the infrastructure I am making the AI build. Anyone found a good way to make this work?

Please share your thoughts and experience!
