pov: your vibecoder friend trying to debug the app built using claude code

The nightmare isn't debugging. It's that Claude doesn't remember why it wrote that code in the first place. Vibe coding gets you from zero to demo in an afternoon. But when something breaks a week later, you're staring at code you didn't write, with no commit messages, no documentation, and no memory of the tradeoffs that were made. The agent moved on. You're left holding the bug. Fast creation is worthless without memory of what was created.

claude, debug this app, make no mistakes.

He would fix it first try with Codex. 😂 That’s the truth.

senior css++ developer

An entire generation built status on knowing a language. Now it’s autocomplete. That shift hits harder than any joke.

skill issue, not a tool issue If you don't understand what is being written then that's the vobecoder fault

@Tbone_Al

Maybe in earlier versions of AI. Not anymore though. Secured and debugged with Claude now

For now it’s true 😂, but will be solved in future

Oh, Claude… Did you attempt to run before you learned to walk?

Me vs the bug Claude Code put there in the first place.

The only code I've done basic and VBasic in HS in the early 00's, but I know that AI code debate is rapidly ending itself. It's not going to be more than a few months til code is generated flawlessly in existing languages, or made at a more base/assembly level entirely.

@Traves_Theberge Me 😂

I'm in this video and I don't appreciate it

Claude's debugging might make 'em ghost us too soon

@diegoquirox

Even the most distinguished engineers have difficulty with straightening blinds😂

That's true. It will be better in the following months.

use codex

Codex, and build skills and a governance stack. You’re welcome.

That debugging focus is next-level impressive—true vibecoder dedication in action! 💻

@devellloper 🫣

.@TheStalwart this one's for you!

This is my father ❤️, an old R coder! 😂

Haha vcoders are fcking joke, claude is sht. We cant be replaced yet 😂

😭

Haha cry harder!! It’s not even a year old yet, and how long did you go to school for?

@dsmiley411 @FunOfInvesting ya ok buddy? lol

Oh yeah because software development is straight aces . The revolt of mediocre developers is just ....

(It’s written in a language he doesn’t even partially know)

the funniest stage is when they open the browser console and start reading error messages out loud like they are casting a spell. "uncaught TypeError: cannot read properties of undefined" and they just stare at it hoping it will explain itself. a dev at a coworking space in Munich told me he watched someone copy paste the same error into Claude Code four times in a row expecting a different answer each time. the debugging skill gap is the real divide between people who can vibe code sustainably and people who hit a wall the moment something breaks in a way the AI did not anticipate

Feels right!
