TLDR

Merav Knafo posted that vibe-coded apps become difficult to change rather than crashing outright. She quoted a founder who took four hours to build an app and then needed 22 days to modify one feature. The founder added that he was scared to touch it. Other posts in the thread discussed messy codebases, rabbit holes from letting AI run without limits, and the idea that strong fundamentals help engineers using these tools more than beginners.

@RealChrisSean@matthias_mrc lol! It’s a never ending rabbit hole. Imagine how much more you could do when you let it go YOLO outside of your laptop.
@melqtxoh right, before this there were no bugs and zero downtime for 20 years. how else do you think it writes the slop.
@Jbm_devin a few years most vibe coders are going to be better engineers than if they learned without ai
@MSiekmoeller@matthias_mrc I close it at 8pm cause my token limit is reached 😅
@thonishohibLarge codebase lebih messy pak. Human slop everywhere 🤣🤣
@meravknafoVibe-coded apps don't crash. They quietly become impossible to change. 😬 A founder I spoke to spent 22 days modifying one feature in an app that took him four hours to build. His words: "I'm scared to touch it."
@scripter_jsHonestly vibe-coding, vibe-engineering, or whatever you call it, currently favors and will continue to favor engineers with deep knowledge or a fundamental understanding of the basics over those who don't.
