Vibe Coding is Mad Depressing
A 15-year mobile dev freelancer vents frustration over AI's takeover, turning greenfield projects into emoji-filled code nightmares.
Key highlights
⦁ Pre-AI era: Calm builds from prototypes, focusing on clean code and client delight in 2-3 months—no rush, just solid work.
⦁ AI snippets evolved to full merges: Clients now push unvetted, emoji-laced code via force pushes, bloating repos with 1,200+ branches.
⦁ Worst offender: Everything crammed into one SwiftUI ContentView file—logic, models, UI—yet somehow live in the App Store, ignoring best practices.
⦁ Snapped by the chaos: No more meaningful collaboration, just sifting thousands of lines at kickoff, eroding hard-earned skills.
⦁ Broader gripe: AI bastardizes freelancing, killing processes and professionalism for quick "vibes."
