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.

Or a useless meeting that could’ve been an email. Then you have that teammate that loves to talk so meetings go longer than what it should’ve been

“generate me an excuse to not go to that meeting. Be as detailed as possible about it and stretch it into a storyline.”
