A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.

    I wonder how much of it was vibe coded. And how much the owners will have to give up because of the beach, if anything.

      Probably not much. Most vibe code errors are because the developer sucks. And for how much you hear about it in the news, there’s billions of lines of code written every day that wasn’t “slop”

        Correct, a developer that does not suck would not be vibecoding at all.

          I bet most of you don’t know what vibe coding is and assume asking AI for any help at all qualifies.

          I can also tell none of you developed anything significant if you think neglecting security concerns must be a result of vibe coding.

            Found the vibecoder. At least copying and pasting snippets from SO required you to understand how to fit it into your exact situation and what conditions made it different or similar to the SO post, which maintains your mental model of the code.

        Yeah the developer might suck but an accomplished developer would have to spend more time fixing bad vibe code that is generated due to limited context window and backwards reasoning by the AI.

        Vibe coding is fast because it sucks and is so sloppy

          Hard Disagree. Randomly saying “do this” and “fix this” is not how to work with AI. That’s going to get crap code…… because the developer has no idea how to use AI.

          Let me guess, tried AI once three years ago, then never looked at it again, while confidently assuming nothing changed?

          The new Qwen 3.5, for example, can have up to 1mil token window.

          No investigation, no right to speak.
