A non-technical employee of a client vibe-coded an app and I was asked to review and deploy it.
It was okay, not bad at all. No serious issues.
At the same time, me feeding a whole PDF of feedback from a client - screenshots and such - into Claude, and it fixed everything after 7 hours of reproducing and fixing things mostly unattended, creating a bunch of MRs with fixes. Most fixes were good, some were obviously not what the client wanted but technically correct (which I told Claude and it fixed it)
Yup it's gotten good enough that it mostly works (thats why i built my startup around this idea)
It’s interesting though because the client’s dev team basically refused to look at it, dismissing it as insecure and such.
I realized that the software he had made was actually better than what I would have made, because he understood the problem better than I ever will, Because it was his job to understand the problem, not to write code.
It was the first time I realized that AI can totally replace me in my traditional job of trying to understand client’s wants and needs and convert them into an application by writing some code.
I knew Claude was powerful and spent months creating skills prompts etc but this guy did it from scratch.
Amazing and industry-changing. Is he able to update it by himself now?
