The full story
The whole spec was one line: "Create a web-based game that leverages the accelerometer creatively." The author typed it into Claude Code running on a four-year-old Redmi Note 9 phone with 4 GB of RAM. Over six iterations they discovered what they wanted, and three hours later had Inertia, a WebGL marble game with procedural terrain. They call it "vibe discovery": unlike vibe coding, you don't know the requirements up front.
