My top 3 biggest frustrations with vibe coding as of September 2025: (1) lacking visibility of sub-agents actions, I’ve had agents purport to refactor code when they did nothing of the sort (2) lacking awareness of temporary fixes, placeholders, “a real implementation would…” (3) loss of context between compactions, so much subtlety that has been built up over the course of a session is lost between compactions What’s yours?
