The speaker says they are no longer impressed by claims that someone “vibe coded” a product in a week. They describe their own process as repeatedly hammering out defects, like flattening dents in sheet metal, while new problems continue to appear. They characterize the work as brute force and say they ran through their product’s user experience flow 700 times before asking an external client to try it.

  • The speaker feels people have moved past the claim of vibe coding a product in a week.
  • They are hesitant to use the term “vibe coding” for their own work.
  • They compare the process to hammering dents out of sheet metal.
  • New dents—or problems—keep appearing during the process.
  • Repeated work gradually makes the product flatter, with fewer new dents appearing.
  • The speaker describes the approach as brute force.
  • They say they broke things repeatedly while working on the product.
  • They tested their own product’s user experience flow 700 times before involving an external client.

vibe coding, user experience flow

00:00 I tell people like, “Hey, don’t buy the I I vibe coded this in a week.” I feel like we’re all past that. Um, but I tell people, “No, like I I almost don’t like using the term vibe coding cuz what I did was I I compare it to like hammering sheet metal. Uh, you’re hammering out all of the dents and there’s new dents popping up in the sheet all the time. Eventually, you start getting it flatter and flatter and flatter and there’s there’s fewer dents popping up as you hammer. Um, that’s kind of how I would frame what I did.

00:31 Brute force. Uh, it’s you you you you break things a lot, but I went through my own product like user experience flow 700 times before I asked the first external client to go through
