What's the biggest pain point you've hit using vibe coding tools?
After building with vibe coding tools for a while, here's what bugs me most — curious if it's just me:
They don't do anything unless I tell them to.
I'm still the one who has to figure out what to do next.
To get good work out of them, I'm the one feeding them all the context.
Notice the pattern? In every case, I'm the brain and the glue. The tool waits, I think. The tool executes, I carry the context between GitHub, the App Store, analytics, Slack, Notion... It's powerful, but it's reactive — I'm stuck doing the part that actually drains me.
So my team is building something to flip that. It's called Bottari (still early — this is the first time I'm sharing it anywhere 🙈).
The idea: pull the context scattered across your product's tools — GitHub, App Store, analytics, Slack, Notion — into one actionable memory, then use it to propose the next move to grow the product, ship it, learn from the result, and propose the next one. A loop that runs on its own, instead of waiting to be told.
Still figuring a lot of it out, which is exactly why I'm asking:
What's the biggest pain point you've felt using vibe coding tools?
Is it the "won't act unless told" part, the "I decide what's next" part, the "I feed it all the context" part — or something else entirely?
Would love to hear what actually hurts 👇
