A developer shares their experience building a personal voice-to-text tool using Claude Code, arguing that AI-assisted development can be rigorous and intentional rather than sloppy 'vibe coding'. The author emphasizes that the engineer must remain in the driver's seat — writing specs, setting direction, rejecting unsuitable code, and maintaining discipline around structure and tests. The result is a daily-use tool built to exact personal requirements, with no unwanted features.
