This is why you should not install any of the vibe coded apps that get advertised in here regularly. You're just creating a liability for yourself.

This in my experience is the hallmark of a vibe coded project. Individual pieces of code can be perfectly fine, but when you zoom out into an overall structure things get weird. Design patterns changing, same/similar problems solved in different, sometimes conflicting ways.

Been working on a project like that at work. Initially I enjoyed the change of pace, but as I realised that there's no coherence at all in the project structure my joy turned into frustration.

To me, the most frustrating thing is that you can't ask someone why something is done in a particular way, because no decision was ever made because no one was there to make a decision. Things just happened.
