Comment on Ask HN: How much of your dev work is vibecoding now?

well, i dont use it for code. i tried, really did, but it keeps getting into infinite loops, or crashing itself trying to get out of kernel-level errors by typecasing an error_code to a datastructure it expects -_- (wtf??)

also, last week i had to sit through 8 hours code auditing of 2 parsers... i mean. 2 parsers that should of taken like 20 minutes to review... it was a complete and utter shitshow. functionally worked, for that one test-case -_-. the 2 parsers had a nice 'framework' around it or whatever. a webserver to run them, because why not make a webserver if you can... -_- and each parser as a module in the framework, but they both were architected differently :S and had special handling in the framework for each as a result.. rather than cleaning up the interface for the module -_-.

clearly just LLM trying to do the 1000 monkeys approach to a passed test... i swear i might have been quicker just to re-write the entire thing, but u know, wanted to see if it was even possible to decypher the mess it produced. well, it was. and now i want to live in a hole in the ground somewhere away from civilization.
