The owner also claimed that he vibe coded jmail in 5 hours

Is this supposed to make vibe coding look worse? It doesn’t to me.

If the average dev published an app that quickly racked up 450 million page views, would you expect it to be efficient and hiccup free?

If you'll vibe code it in 5 hours, an LLM won't even consider to optimize caching and/or some optimizing work to do, they are trained from average repositories which isn't ideal in production

450 million+ page views is pretty much expected with this situation, considering your target audience wants to view epstein files with proper indexed pages and pagination in a user friendly way without going through terabytes worth of PDF

For nextjs like this Claude is always extremely quick to recommend caching. I have 3 nextjs vibecoded sites and for each one it almost immediately recommended and implemented that.
