I also vibecoded everything, using Claude Code and (mostly) Fable 5 to write and run all the experiments. I was much more in-the-loop than you, tho, often having long informal discussions with Claude about the research concepts and promising directions, and I did feel like I was actually contributing something (multiple times Claude was like “ah good catch that’s better than I was thinking” and I think it wasn’t all just sycophancy). I’d also ask Claude to create visualizations for me to get more insight
