Recurring vibe-coding experience:
"Can you make me a demo"
> One-shots incredible demo that's 75% what I want.
"Can you fix x y z details?"
> Six hours later and every iteration is worse.
Author experiences a recurring pattern when asking for demos
Brief
The post describes a recurring vibe in collaborative/demo work: the first automated or one-shot demo hits about 75% of the author’s needs and feels excellent, but subsequent requests to fix specific details lead to hours of iterations (around six hours) that deteriorate quality instead of refining it, creating frustration.
Why it matters
Author experiences a recurring pattern when asking for demos: the initial one-shot demo is “incredible” and already about 75% aligned with their goals.
Key details
- When they request fixes for specific details, iterative edits over roughly six hours consistently produce progressively worse results rather than improvements.
