It’s absolutely possible to learn a lot while using an AI coding assistant; it can be like having a patient and supportive Stack Overflow instead of one that just closes all your questions as duplicates. That does require using it intentionally though.
Author says on reddit that it’s vibe coded. Boo.
Did they post the source code? That just sounds like one of us lemmings needs to unvibe code the source.
Yes, because this is critical production code that is clearly too important to not go through stringent review.
It could have at least been a fun learning experience for the developer, but instead they just wrote some text and let the computer program it.

That’s not what vibecoding is. Vibecoding is literally what I said and not just it being an assistant.
What if it becomes the next twitter?
I mean the name is available now, isn’t it?
It even specifically requires GPS location unlike other messengers. Boo.
Anything worth doing is worth reviewing.
So… he vibe coded it, hit a bug he couldn’t fix, and said, fuck it, it’s a feature.
Hit a bug The AI couldn’t fix
The coder also couldn’t fix it. Or wouldn’t.
people who wibecode are not coders, they generally have no idea what the text does that the llm spouts to them.
