I'm working on the second project handed to me that was vibe-coded. What annoys me assuming it runs is the high number of READMEs which I'm not even sure which one to use/if applicable.

They are usually verbose/include things like "how to run a virtual env for python"

Lots of READMEs? Might make total sense, if lines of code added, is a metrics the managers look at.

Can't be any compilation errors in a README, no need to worry about bugs. And if they're long and boring enough, no one will ever read them.

AI generated READMEs = free metrics bonus points, for the performance reviews :-)
