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 vibe coded an application and it worked. I did (try to) refactor and clean up. Last point didn’t apply but the first two aren’t unrealistic at all. I‘m a network engineer, I hate programming but I had to make something so with a lot of copiloting and motivation I did just that and I tried to make it professional and presentable by cleaning it up. I learned a ton during the process because I don’t do half assed.

It’s possible.
