    For sure, I am talking about smaller projects where programming elements are relatively low key and critical parts are the business logic and how it impacts UX/UI and use case flows.

    I was between projects and I needed money so I accepted a project from a repeat client where I knew 80% of it very well (and how to implement it), but there were parts that I vibe coded (albeit they were simple enough that I could understand the logic of what I was deploying even though I don’t know how to code).

    The contract size was simply too small for me to get a subcontractor, I would be giving them most of payment (while doing 80% of the work).

    I think it’s fair to use vibe coding in such situations.

    I would not risk vibe coding in a situation where I felt I would be undermining the clients’ project (I want repeat clients and I don’t want to have to spend time fixing things for free).
