Maybe you can tell us the name of the software so we can avoid it?

Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft....they literally all have the vibe coded code; it's not about vibe coded or not, it is about how well the code is designed, efficient and bug free. Ofc pro coders can debug it and fix it better than some amateur coder but still LLMs are so valuable. I let Gemini vibe code little web projects for me and it serves me well. Although you have to explain everything step by step to it and sometimes when it fixes one bug, it accidently introduces another. But we fix bugs together and learn together. And btw when Gemini fixes bugs, it puts comments in the code on how the particular bug was fixed.

Are those supposed to be companies we don't want to avoid?

These are companies that know how to vibe code efficiently.

It's a personal project. No need to be a dick.

Presenting AI slop as software is about as as big as it gets.

You do realize you have no idea whether it's slop or not, don't you? Or are you so arrogant as to think you know the value of something you haven't seen? I have been a full-stack developer for over 20 years. I can tell if what I'm putting out meets a certain standard.

Take a look at yourself and honestly ask yourself why you felt the need to shit on a random stranger's hobby project without knowing anything about it. What in you is so hurt that you had to hurt another?

If you feel so bad about it, why do it?

What are you talking about? I love it.
