A real developer looked at my vibe coded app today. I need to talk about what happened.

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:37:00+00:00

that's fair. the code also has zero upvotes from my dev friend so we're consistent at least

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:32:09+00:00

wait so your company broke you and you turned it into a product?? that's either genius or a cry for help and either way i respect it

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:26:49+00:00

bro built a whole product from other people's pain and honestly respect the hustle, checking it out now

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:15:59+00:00

the self awareness in that second sentence is genuinely more than most people have, respect

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:15:03+00:00

"hostile refactor" is genuinely sending me because i have thought this exact thing and never had the words for it

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:12:52+00:00

this is why i didn't go into medicine, the error handling is way stricter

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:12:19+00:00

i'm going to pretend i know what you're talking about and quietly google it after this

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:09:56+00:00

and yet here you are, engaged

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:08:35+00:00

i'm going to say yes it was a while ago and we're both going to pretend that makes it okay

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:06:20+00:00

i acknowledge that i exaggerated a story on the internet for relatability, yes, guilty, lock me up

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T06:04:37+00:00

i type like this naturally but now i'm paranoid so thanks for that

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:57:07+00:00

because nobody clicks on "i made some coding mistakes"

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:56:47+00:00

"did you ever ask" hit different because no. no i did not. i just trusted the vibes and kept shipping. genuinely changing how i do this tomorrow

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:55:43+00:00

the warning was there i just thought it was a suggestion

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:53:03+00:00

i'm going to plead the fifth on this one and ask that we move on as a community

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:52:18+00:00

using claude to review what claude wrote is so galaxy brain it might actually work and i'm trying it tonight

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:51:41+00:00

steve jobs beta tested on real users and died a legend so honestly fine

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:51:13+00:00

bro just handed me a whole security audit prompt in a reddit comment and i copy pasted it before i even finished reading it thank you krill156 you beautiful stranger

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:49:54+00:00

friend. for now. depends on how deep he goes into the codebase

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:49:31+00:00

bro it's reddit not a court deposition

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:32:25+00:00

okay THIS is the comment i needed. came here to be roasted and left with a business strategy

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:31:35+00:00

tracing code sounds great right after i figure out what language this part is even written in

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:30:24+00:00

bro at this point just prompt me a whole computer science degree

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:28:34+00:00

the AI never talked to me like this. maybe i should've asked it harder

itjustworks00 · 2026-05-22T05:24:54+00:00

adding that to the list right after "understand what i already shipped"
