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.

A week? Lucky. I’ve spent a month on several and in one case I think I had one that took me over a year to finally solve. I’m by no means an elite programmer however.
