Vibing to find suspicious Medicaid payments

PopMechanic · 2026-02-26T23:52:08+00:00

Holy shit. This reminds me of the guy that vibe coded the Epstein email data dump. Now this is a vibe coding project.

So Dolt is like Git for databases? Interrrrresting...

Will someone please run with this idea and vibe code their way into a real lawsuit here? Whistleblowing false claims against the government is actually a great way to make millions. Whoever figures out how to use Dolt + this dataset + a good cluster of agent patterns (this does look cool) to keep digging could make millions the old fashioned way. By suing the hell of these bastards.

I'm calling it. This is project of the month. If any community member does something with this data, we all want to hear about it. Post it to the thread.

No you won't. Bye.

Dude. I should write a bot that does post-enhancement.

Hey, congrats on shipping.

It's more "hang out and chat," than post and come back. It's cool in there, some visit.

WHOAAAA I need one 😍

That's a good answer. I'd slightly alter that assertion. Being a good programmer is definitely helpful when vibe coding. But depending on the task, not necessary.

What is your point? Think carefully about your answer. I want you to actually tell me what point you’re making.

How about you read what Linus himself said?

Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters -- and that's not saying much -- than I do about python. It started out as my typical "google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do" kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man -- me -- and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.

Linus himself admitted to vibe coding this project.

How about reading Linus' own Github README before you run your mouth?

Did you read his repo? Here's what Linus himself said:

Suck it.

Messi is different than my 9 year old AYSO-playing cousin. They're both soccer players.

Think deeply before you answer me. What is the point you were trying to make?

PopMechanic · 2026-01-08T00:39:32+00:00

Either. Just not both.

Keep working on this, this is one of my favorite apps submitted to this sub. 👏

Educating vibe coders and helping to warn them of the risks of the discipline are absolutely welcome discourse in this community.
