Vibe coding with Claude Code: what the third hour looks like

Hour three of vibe coding is where the magic wears off and the work begins. The agent starts drifting from its own code, re-implementing helpers and calling renamed props. I stay productive by committing at every green moment, re-grounding the context against real files every 30 minutes, narrowing the agent's scope when it wanders, and starting a fresh session when the context gets poisoned. Flow is a tool, not the goal.
