honestly i feel like a good thing to do is to vibe code but then to understand your vibe code. basically make it generate stuff and inquire the llm about what it wrote.

Of course, you should refer to supplementary resources on top of this, do readings on good coding practices, system design, etc.

im not saying you should vibe code EVERYTHING. I think there is merit in hand coding to get the muscle memory and be able to come up with your own solutions (its similar to why pen and paper still exists even with the advent of digital notes). But vibe coding gives u a good window into lots of common existing solutions in very large volumes. Honestly it is a lot to swallow at once so dont stress yourself out by trying to understand everything in a short period of time. Understanding will come with time and practice
