It’s difficult to follow. It’s like they are drunkenly telling their side of the story to someone who already knows what happened.
I see it’s your first time reading a furry dev blog post.
I’m so glad the foss and self hosting communities have grown so large since covid. SaaS is evil incarnate and I will happily switch to foss alternatives whenever possible.
Why would you keep working there. After that two hour demo of the app i’d have given the highers ups shit until they fired me. Sometimes you got to use your professional status to tell people they are doing a bad job
There are people who need money to pay their rent or buy food. He isn’t saying that he is not trying to leave, but there are good reasons to stick to a bad job while searching for a better one.
I didnt see the part where they mentioned trying to leave. Also why would I assume this person is financially struggling, they are likely getting paid in the hundreds of thousands.
I could place orders without giving my contact details or payment.
This isn’t a “vibe coding” issue. This is just basic laziness/fraud. Even with vibe coding, you can get by if the project is simple, you know the business/operational elements of the domain, you aggressively test the solution and are aware of at least common edge cases.
It’s pretty much a vibe coding issue. What you describe I can recall being advocated forevet, the project manager’s dtram that you model and spec things out enough and perfectly model the world in your test cases, then you are golden. Except the world has never been so convenient and you bank on the programming being reasonably workable by people to compensate.
Problem is people who think they can replace understanding with vibe coding. If you can only vibe code, you will end up with problems you cannot fix and the LLM can’t either. If you can fix the problems, then you are not inclined to toss overly long chunks of LLM stuff because they generate ugly hard to maintain code that tends to violate all sorts of best practices for programming.
I saw the furry art and that’s how I knew they were a pro*.

If you’re not sure whether or not I’m being sarcastic… neither am I.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for a bootlicker who stayed behind to screw their colleagues?
Who is this lament for?
I don’t understand this article, can some eli5?
Is this real, satire? it’s just written weird
A software developer found out that the failing company they’re at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that’s broken in dozens of ways.
