This precisely captures my experience with AI tools. When I understand the domain very deeply, AI feels like magic. I can tell it exactly how I want something implemented and it just appears in 30 seconds. When I don't understand something very well, however, I get easily misled by bogus design choices that I've delegated to the AI. It's so easy for me to spend 4 hours drafting some prototype in an almost dreamlike state of productive bliss, only for it to crash apart when I discover some fundamental bug in the thing I've vibecoded.
