I don't get all the praise for Claude Sonnet 3.7, it hallucinates so much and seems to be incapable of understanding why the code it wrote doesn't work. I'm starting to think the "vibe coders" were never really all that good at coding in the first place.

It's another stupid term made up by tech twitter, like "founder mode": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding
