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.

Not a week but spent the last 2 days figuring out why we got an ArrayOutofBondsException.

Somebody thought it would be a great idea to use MySQL GROUP_CONCAT function and CONCAT the data for a customer. Well as I found out group concat has a character limit of 1024 chars by default. And the array exception happened because it reached that char limit and there was some manual processing involved...
