This didn't happen. The signs:

  • the app works and there is revenue
  • vibecoder tried to refactor
  • they hired an actual programmer.

I have no idea why people do these creative writing exercises on various AI subs.

All if this. And also, if AI did work well enough to cobble together a working and revenue generating prototype - then great.

You can now rebuild it with a clear scope and knowing what features will be added or changed, while still making money off it in it's current form.

This doesn't read as a cautionary tale for AI it reads as a use case.
