The industry is a joke.

Meta requires tens of thousands of engineers to maintain a social media site. Google even more for an ad platform.

Never have so many achieved so little and the joke is all those clowns think they are “10x engineers”. Meanwhile WhatsApp got to global scale with less than 30 people (before Meta bought it and piled on the inefficiency).

Vibe coding is many orders of magnitude more efficient than the industry standard and that’s why it’s so disruptive.
