Yep, the best way to vibe code is to break it into pieces, ask for a plan or step by step instructions. You can also tell the AI you have no programming knowledge, and it should come with a plan for you (or a finished product, you'll have to choose, most likely). I wouldn't go for the finished product, as it is much more difficult to change afterwards with the help of AI.

I have a background in programming, and it helps with vibe coding, indeed. For example, I catch the misses of the AI, which it recognizes when you question it about them. While it's a GREAT help, it doesn't produce perfect work. In fact, if you give the same code you put together based on its instructions to the same model in a future session, it will find ways to improve it or even things to fix.
