That's funny, I felt the exact opposite and found it fun to research how to make things sync properly and architect the solution for my LLM to then build. Currently I'm using Loro for the syncing.

Maybe it's not better. Maybe your vibe coded solution is much better for your specific use case. For example I recently wanted something that could track my watch history for shows I have locally and sync them to all devices, sort of like Jellyfin, and I couldn't find something that did what I needed so I had to make my own.
