The Cult Of Vibe Coding Is Insane

Bad software is a choice you make

Bram’s Thoughts

It’s truly strange that people keep citing the quality of Claude code’s leaked source as if it’s proof vibe coding doesn’t work.

If anything, it’s the exact opposite. It shows that you can build a crazy popular & successful product while violating all the traditional rules about “good” code.

which has always been true

Not according to some on HN. They consider it impossible to create a successful business with imperfect code. Lol
A cornerstone of this community is "if you're not embarrassed by the first release you've waited too long", which is a recognition that imperfect code is not needed to create a successful business. That's why ShowHN exists.
