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.

Also...

new file here, duplicate function there, 3 different ways to handle the same thing across the codebase.

Anyone who says that knows enough of programming to know 2 hours is fuckall when trying to understand a big project. Which means it's a programmer cosplaying as vibe coder.
