The closest to vibecoding in the 10's was to keep searching Stack Overflow for questions vaguely asking similar things as what you wanted and copy-paste things until it kind of worked.

Which, as we all know, actually worked quite well. But wow this reminds me in how long I haven't had to use stack overflow for anything

Fairly confident I've never copy-pasted much of any code from stack overflow directly. Shell commands, yes, but code? Usually i just use the answer as inspiration.
Still, you can find an awful lot of solutions there, no question
