vibe coding is real, just not in our repo

i just draw a box and write make app and boom agent writes perfect code

me and my team:

  1. spends 4 hours debugging a webhook that randomly fails in prod

  2. fights over whether a boolean flag should be is_active or active

  3. merges a PR that touches 182 files because Typescript

  4. writes actual logic that vibe agents refuse to touch

From zero to one: my journey with badcat.ai

Hi I'm Lancy.

Before starting my entrepreneurial journey, I was a marketing professional with a love for cats and technology. I noticed a lack of platforms for cat lovers to express their creativity, which inspired me to create badcat.ai a place where users can draw cats and get them rated by AI.

With no technical background, I faced significant challenges. I self-studied programming through online courses, often feeling overwhelmed. After months of hard work, I launched a basic prototype, which allowed users to draw and score their ideal cats.

Feedback from friends and family helped refine the user experience. I added a voting feature to highlight popular and less favored creations, enhancing engagement. Joining developer communities provided support and motivation, reminding me I wasn t alone.
