Calling a Polymarket dashboard a "Bloomberg Terminal" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
The value of a Bloomberg Terminal isn't the UI (which is famously terrible/efficient); it's the latency, the hardware, the proprietary data feeds, the chat network, and the reliability.
Building a React frontend that fetches some JSON from an API in 2 hours is impressive, sure, but it’s not the hard part of fintech. We need to stop conflating "I built a UI that looks like X" with "I rebuilt the business value of X."
Because to really have the "bloomberg terminal" is to have access to all of the sources that it aggregates. A vibe coded "bloomberg terminal" is just an interface for slop sources. It's the information sources and validation that makes it worth the price. "Vibe coding" is the most superficial of all possible implementations. "Slop coding" is a more appropriate term because the criteria is "looks passable to me".
