just discovered my best friend has been vibe coding for the last 2 years
i was horrified
he’s been shipping full products with no specs, no diagrams, no architecture reviews, just “trying things until it feels right”
i invited him over for an intervention
we opened his metrics
apps in production: 3
paying customers: 1,200
monthly downtime: 0 minutes
it was worse than i imagined
millions of lines of undocumented intuition, completely non-compliant with any serious engineering framework
i did the only thing a real friend could do
we spent the entire weekend rebuilding his workflow
introduced jira, quarterly architecture councils, rfc templates, raci matrices and a strict “no code without diagram” policy
his shipping pace collapsed overnight
but now every button change requires a 9-page design doc, a risk analysis and a future scalability assessment for when he “hits 10 million users”
revenue growth stalled
but his confluence space has never looked more enterprise-ready
i’ve never been more proud of him
he’s no longer some chaotic vibe coder
he’s finally a blocked, over-process senior engineer
