    So... he vibe coded it, hit a bug he couldn't fix, and said, fuck it, it's a feature.

    It could have at least been a fun learning experience for the developer, but instead they just wrote some text and let the computer program it.

    It's absolutely possible to learn a lot while using an AI coding assistant; it can be like having a patient and supportive Stack Overflow instead of one that just closes all your questions as duplicates. That does require using it intentionally though.
