Go ahead and vibe code your payment system. What could go wrong?

Harvest is a stripe wrapper with time keeping. They are not suggesting to vibe code stripe.

I’ve found that while vibe coding can be effective, anything with complexity takes more than a 1-shot prompt to get there. The amount of work that comprises a single scrum story is about the right amount to do with a single prompt and even that requires some review and revision. So 1-shot your payment system, hell no, but writing a payment system without writing code is possible although I would think it still would take enough time that I wouldn’t choose that over a reasonably priced SaaS.

Come on now, we need a blog post blaming the LLM model when this happens. It always crackw me up when people want to vibe code finance related applications. Let's not devoid ourselves of entertainment, please.
