A messaging app has come up with maybe the least efficient alternative to WhatsApp imaginable: sending your texts by virtual carrier pigeon.

    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.

      So… he vibe coded it, hit a bug he couldn’t fix, and said, fuck it, it’s a feature.

      Yes, because this is critical production code that is clearly too important to not go through stringent review.

        It even specifically requires GPS location unlike other messengers. Boo.

        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.

          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.

            That’s not what vibecoding is. Vibecoding is literally what I said and not just it being an assistant.
