It’s difficult to follow. It’s like they are drunkenly telling their side of the story to someone who already knows what happened.
I saw the furry art and that’s how I knew they were a pro*.

If you’re not sure whether or not I’m being sarcastic… neither am I.
What if we are sure whether you’re being sarcastic? Are you still unsure or does my surety change whether you are sure?
Schrödinger’s Surety
Pro enough to be one of the last employees remaining, but not pro enough to find new employment sooner?
Am I supposed to feel sorry for a bootlicker who stayed behind to screw their colleagues?
Who is this lament for?
Why would you keep working there. After that two hour demo of the app i’d have given the highers ups shit until they fired me. Sometimes you got to use your professional status to tell people they are doing a bad job
There are people who need money to pay their rent or buy food. He isn’t saying that he is not trying to leave, but there are good reasons to stick to a bad job while searching for a better one.
I didnt see the part where they mentioned trying to leave. Also why would I assume this person is financially struggling, they are likely getting paid in the hundreds of thousands.
I like the doodles and the I line messages
I have seen such half assed stuff in my career that I am terrified at trusting companies to do this stuff. This is even before the vibe coding. Now that I see how companies mine and others are using AI I am even more concerned than ever.
I could place orders without giving my contact details or payment.
This isn’t a “vibe coding” issue. This is just basic laziness/fraud. Even with vibe coding, you can get by if the project is simple, you know the business/operational elements of the domain, you aggressively test the solution and are aware of at least common edge cases.
It’s pretty much a vibe coding issue. What you describe I can recall being advocated forevet, the project manager’s dtram that you model and spec things out enough and perfectly model the world in your test cases, then you are golden. Except the world has never been so convenient and you bank on the programming being reasonably workable by people to compensate.
Problem is people who think they can replace understanding with vibe coding. If you can only vibe code, you will end up with problems you cannot fix and the LLM can’t either. If you can fix the problems, then you are not inclined to toss overly long chunks of LLM stuff because they generate ugly hard to maintain code that tends to violate all sorts of best practices for programming.
For sure, I am talking about smaller projects where programming elements are relatively low key and critical parts are the business logic and how it impacts UX/UI and use case flows.
I was between projects and I needed money so I accepted a project from a repeat client where I knew 80% of it very well (and how to implement it), but there were parts that I vibe coded (albeit they were simple enough that I could understand the logic of what I was deploying even though I don’t know how to code).
The contract size was simply too small for me to get a subcontractor, I would be giving them most of payment (while doing 80% of the work).
I think it’s fair to use vibe coding in such situations.
I would not risk vibe coding in a situation where I felt I would be undermining the clients’ project (I want repeat clients and I don’t want to have to spend time fixing things for free).
Since when has vibe coding ever been done by some one like that and not the nepo baby son of the CFo who is good at computer
I’ve used vibe coding in a project where the coding part was small (20% of the total project, with the complex stuff being the remaining 80%) and it had relatively straightforward workflow that could be tested and accounted for without strange edge cases.
It’s not only nepo/conmen types who use vibe coding.
