Inaccurate. That house has decent structural integrity despite being a cruel joke made by the architect, vibe code could never

Locks probably work too.
Hmm, I dunno if that's a fair comparison. That house might be structurally sound and just look weird.
A vibe coder's house equivalently would have collapsed on the person who purchased it as soon as the closed the door behind them.
Does it stay up? Yes.
Can you sleep in it? Technically
Does it have running electricity and water? (Optional anyway)
Another big win for vibe coders. Pack it up, we're taking the W home.
If this house took 2 days to build and costs 5k, I'll take it.
In this market absolutely. One could easily flip it to $500k in a couple days.
Well, if all "AI houses" suddenly cost 5k all around, you wouldn't flip it, but I would gladly live in one of them if I can stop paying rent/mortgage.
Talking to my structural engineer friend about the way we build software makes him sad every time. And I'm not even talking about vibe coding. Yet.
"schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don’t beat them when they’re bad." Hahahahah
This is literally the difference between me and my wife ;)
You absolutely can regex (some) html if you sanitize and maybe convert it beforehand.
Btw, why are parsers always built to support the whole thing and maybe throw an error on or just consume unsupported shenanigans? That's how you get security vulnerabilities in picture formats. Instead of just picking the things you support and ignoring the rest.
You always have to balance: Do you want the user to have "some" user experience, or none at all.
In the case of image viewers or browsers or stuff, it's most often better to show the user something, even if it isn't perfect, than to show nothing at all. Especially if it's an user who can't do anything to fix the broken thing at all.
That said, if the user is a developer who is currently developing the solution, then the parser should be as strict as possible, because the developer can fix stuff before it goes into production.
Did you tell him about fuzzers yet?
This looks like a real house and I'm pretty sure it's not built by a vibe coder so I call shenanigans.
That house looks like it's begging to be mercy killed.
I'm sure the owner's laptop has Windows on it, too.
I'll see myself out....
It's like Winchester House, but with windows...
I kinda like escher’s work…. And this is giving off those vibes…
Escher used a lot of repeating patterns. This is more like a Picasso.
I was kinda referring to the impossible shapes and dimensional illusions Escher used. Like this one:
Sure, I could see that. But on the other hand, this is ostensibly a photo of a building that exists IRL, so clearly it can't be topologically impossible in an Escher-esque way.
That house is in the "so bad, it's good" category. Vibe coders can only aspire to such things.
That's $400k worth of house and $500k worth of windows. Lotta big custom glass in there.
So much about vibe coding and yet I have not seen any (working) application or project made by utilizing it.
Well, I wonder why...
It wOrKs
That is an accurate representation of my projects. I'm not a vibe coder 😭
Reminds me of the time when AI image generation was new, and someone generated a bunch of screwed up road intersections with stuff like circular crosswalks and whatnot. Everyone was like "humans can't fix the traffic, but don't worry, computers can't fix it either." ...I think about it a lot.
