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. Photon was also created in 2023, 2 years before Claude code even existed.
