Yawn. I wish HN would just ban AI skip articles until someone writes about an actual product that provides actual value to paying customers.

In fact what I really want to see is a successful product that no one realizes was built by AI vibes until after it was successful. Customers don’t give a shit how something was built.

I don't think it's either "vibe coding or nothing" choice you have to make with AI. I am part of a team working on a complex Kotlin backend. I have been experimenting with Claude recently and I have been amazed how well it can pick up the existing patterns used in the project and create new code if given reasonable instructions. And it writes great tests too (something that would take me a lot of time and kill my motivation). It has been a great productivity boost for me. Of course we review the code in PRs, we test it but in the end it does the job in less time and saves me from doing tedious work.
