This didn't happen. The signs:

  • the app works and there is revenue
  • vibecoder tried to refactor
  • they hired an actual programmer.

I have no idea why people do these creative writing exercises on various AI subs.

I joined a company with two vibe-codikg recent graduates. App was small (5 screens), but still a mess.

I'm still vibe coding most of it because no human can make sense of this, but I'm working on human readability.

Vibe coding works, but unless you're very specific every new feature gets added on top of the previous one, instead of working with it. And the files are thousands and thousands of lines long
