This is why you should not install any of the vibe coded apps that get advertised in here regularly. You're just creating a liability for yourself.

As someone somewhere between junior and intermediate developer, I will say vibe coding on my personal projects has accelerated my learning so much on the proper way to code things so much more than constantly bugging my seniors who don't have time to properly review and critique my code (because surprise surprise! We're understaffed). At least now I can ask Claude to explain its approach and fact check it myself, and the times I've had it run too loose, I've gotten practice debugging code I'm unfamiliar with since Claude eventually hits a point where it fucked something up and has no idea how to fix it. But obviously the caveat is you have to approach it as a learning tool not an automation tool.
