Look at dev process (i did), this think is "tested to hell" and "battle tested".

But the feedback loop was automated and accelerated. Instead of 1000 loops spread over 20 years, it had 1000 loops over a few months.

Calling it "vibe coded" just shows something about you, not the project. It is not production ready yet, but that is not for fast ai dev or for technical reasons. It needs independent reviews, independent verification, and reputation.

Battle tested means deployed in production.

So when you say battle tested earlier, and then not production ready later - which one is it?

That's selling it short. You could deploy something to production in minutes. Battle tested implies it's been not only deployed, but heavily used in all kinds of scenarios, and in the case of sqlite, probably by millions of different apps.

But anyway I assume that random name green account above is just a pro-vibe coding bot.

It’s ridiculous how common the bots are becoming, then again Sam’s put a lot of money on the line so can’t be having bad vibes.

This, from a 1 day old throwaway account, tells a lot.

I don't trust AI testing. An automated loop == zero testing in my book.
