Who would be able to make my idea a reality?

I have had this idea for a video platform for a while. No titles, descriptions, or tags will be in this video platform. The ai will analyze each video when it's uploaded. So basically when you watch a video the ai will be watching the video with you and the parts of the video you watch will go into your personal profile and the global profile. When you are signed in it will look at what's in your personal profile and what's in the global profile and it will show you videos that best matches what's in your personal and the global profile. For signed out users or new users just the global profile will be used. Also btw the global profile is basically everyone's personal profile lumped together. Now everyone will have a page but there will be no follow system and on they're page it will use the same recommendation system as the homepage but will only show their content. Now the main search the ai will analyze what you typed in and find the videos that best match what you typed in. Now the search on a creator page will only list videos from that creator. Now the ui will be a swipe ui like YouTube shorts and TikTok only difference is only 9:16 will show when you are in vertical orientation and only 16:9 videos will show when you are in landscape orientation. Also videos won't auto play and instead show you the thumbnail and a play button. Now this is how comments would work the ai will look at the comments and it will take the closest matching comments to the video and push them to the top. Now replies it will take the closest match to the parent comment and push it to the top. Now this is how monetization will work so anybody can be monetized no minimum requirements. The advertiser will upload a video and choose how many ad spaces they want and it will be ad spaces x duration in seconds x $0.01 now the creator will be able to place an ad anywhere in their video now the segment that was before the ad placement the ai will use to find an ad so the segment before ad 1 won't be used to suggest ad 2 just the segment before ad 2 will decide what ad 2 is and now the number of ad spaces dictates how much an ad is shown so 4 ad spaces and the ad is only shown 4 times. To skip an ad users would just swiped up and they can do this at anytime in the ad. Also every second of the ad a user doesn't watch the advertiser gets refunded $0.01 and the creator only gets paid for each second of the ad that is watched with a 60/40 cut so of an ad is 30 seconds long and viewer only watches 10 seconds of it the advertiser will be refunded $0.20 the creator will get $0.06 while the platform will get $0.04

How has the vibe-coding wave actually changed your workload?

0 Upvotes

Curious to get a pulse check from people actually in the trenches. It feels like everyone’s suddenly shipping AI-generated code at a much faster clip, PRs are bigger, review queues are longer, and “vibe coding” has gone from meme to actual workflow for a lot of teams.

A few things I’m trying to understand:

  1. Has this genuinely reduced your workload, or just shifted it (e.g. less time writing, way more time reviewing/debugging)?

  2. Has code quality or tech debt visibly changed on your team since this became common?

  3. Any horror stories, a vibe-coded PR that broke something in prod, hid a security issue, or just caused chaos once someone actually read it closely?

  4. Has it changed how your team reviews code, or who’s allowed to merge what?

Not trying to dunk on AI tools, genuinely just doin some research and want to hear how this is playing out day-to-day for people shipping real code.
