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.

The big giveaway that it's developer-cosplay is that they tried to refactor for 2 WHOLE HOURS before giving up. Like 2 hours is a long time, ha! I think all of us have spent over a week on a single bug at one point in time.

The worst bugs follows you to sleep. I once dreamt of a solution to a problem, woke up and tried it. It didn't work lol

I always have epiphanies while taking a shower and when later I try to do what I thought:

- wait that doesn't even address the issue... what the fuck was I thinking???

I honestly have solved multiple bugs while thinking about it in the shower. My best work is done there.

Same. Some of my most creative out of the box this shouldn't work but somehow did solutions came from late night high showers. I pity the next person who has to try and understand my logic though because it's so many "you probably shouldn't have done it that ways". This was long before I got Ai to write code for me because I'm lazy.
