40 reviews: "loved it", "cozy masterpiece", "10/10 would cry again". 1 review: "mid". guess which one I have memorized #indiedev #gamedev

the AI: "this is a simplified example. in production you'd want proper auth, validation and rate limiting" me, with 300 users on the simplified example: noted #vibecoding #AI

raid leader at 11:58pm: "ok this is the last pull, then bed" pull #9. it's 3am. the boss is at 4%. someone's mom just walked in. "ok one more, for real this time" #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

first playtest with a friend: "ok just play it like you normally would" 8 seconds later: "no no no, the other door. here, give me that" #indiedev #gamedev

tested my app on a 32-inch monitor. flawless. opened it on my phone: the logo is the size of a car, the menu is off the screen and the Buy button moved to another dimension #vibecoding #webdev

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

listed a +4 as "chill run". got 0 applicants. relisted as "timing only, 3000 IO, KSM, link achieves". full group in 30 seconds. we depleted it anyway #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

"Press W to move." "Press A to move left." "This is your health bar." ...11 pop-ups later you may finally walk. the game is 40 minutes long #indiedev #gamedev

the app: a to-do list. 3 tasks. the stack: 4 frameworks from this week, a vector database, Kubernetes and a microservice just for the checkbox. it has 0 users and 11 containers #vibecoding #webdev

5 players. 5 interrupts. 0 kicks. the cast went off and everyone stared at the tank #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

spent 3 days naming my game. it has a double n, a silent h and a colon. googled it: page 1 is a cough syrup, page 2 is a black metal band #indiedev #gamedev

"I added robust error handling ✅" the error handling: catch (e) {} the errors: still there, just quieter now #vibecoding #AI

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

tried Thalorien. taken. Thalorienn. taken. Thålörien. invalid characters. 20 minutes later I'm a level 1 priest called Healzforyou and I have accepted my fate #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

watched one 40 min talk on emergent narrative. deleted my working platformer. the new engine simulates the shopkeeper's childhood trauma. there is still no jump button #indiedev #gamedev

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

the AI: "✅ Fixed the bug ✅ Improved performance ✅ Refactored auth ✅ Updated 47 files" me, who asked it to change a button color: "lgtm, ship it" #vibecoding #AI

cloth robe drops. the warrior in plate rolls Need. "it's for my offspec" my brother in Elune, you have no offspec that wears a dress #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

the game has one level and no ending. the settings menu has a slider for "cloud fluffiness" and 4 types of anti-aliasing #indiedev #gamedev

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

me: "center this div" the AI: *installs a CSS framework, writes a layout engine, adds a design system* the div: still 2px to the left #vibecoding #webdev

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

raid leader: "everyone repaired?" me, glowing red head to toe, durability at 0%: "yep" #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

the game has 2 levels and a jump button. the wiki has a 400-year timeline, 3 languages and a family tree for the shopkeeper #indiedev #gamedev

[VikingBarbie @sainteirik]

me: *sends a blurry photo of my monitor, taken at an angle, with my thumb in it* "it's broken again"
the AI: "I can see the issue!" (it cannot) #vibecoding #AI
