It’s amazing how many replies I’m getting that “vibe coding is fine, it doesn’t matter if software actually works”.
People literally die or get hurt all the time when websites or apps don’t work, because they get false information or they’re incorrectly flagged or they hit some edge case and stuff just doesn’t happen.
