Apparently the Photon client is vibe coded. (github.com)

I used to daily drive this app for browsing Lemmy/PieFed and stopped due to random annoying bugs and design issues popping up. Now I just found this file in the codebase and it made everything click. What do you guys think?

Photon isn't vibe coded. I tried out Claude code 5 months ago and it didn't really work on the task I gave it. I uninstalled and forgot about it until I noticed 5 commits (2 days!) later that it created a CLAUDE.md. Running git checkout . doesn't clear untracked files (which I still forget to this day) so persisted after I thought I cleared it out.

I would love to hear your argument, but you didn't make one.

Edit: this person I replied to edited and completely changed their comment. It was originally just some snarky comment with a meme image.

What's OP's argument? A CLAUDE.md that lasted 5 commits before I caught its presence, created and deleted 5 months ago?

See that wasn't so hard. Thanks for explaining. I had no idea if there was any merit to what OP was saying and your comment before you edited it was just some image with snarky text and no explanation.
