I vibe coded a retro emulator and assembler with tests. Prompts were minimal and I got really great results (Gemini 3). I tried vibe coding the tricky proprietary part of an app I worked on a few years ago; highly technical domain (yes vague don’t care to dox myself). Lots of prompting and didn’t get close.
There are literally thousands of retro emulators on github. What I was trying to do had zero examples on GitHub. My take away is obvious as of now. Some stuff is easy some not at all.
