if native became easier to tackle with coding agents, react native would have been even more easier to scale. this decision doesn't sit well with me.
tbh, i don't want to keep up now. if it's that special, it will reach me, i'll know about it. the extreme hype around gen ai over the past 3-4 years kind of overdid it for me, it made me tired. i did want to once be at the top, follow twitter threas, newsletters. now i want what works. claude code for work, claude web for general tasks, chatgpt periodically when i want it to do some research. that's it. periodically i get to know a about a new advancement, i give it a try, if it sticks, cool, if it doesn't cool. i keep moving ahead.

so this is not n8n but conversational.
if the author knows what they're doing and understand the model of the code at least, i don't understand the reason mentioning that it was vibe coded. maybe declaring something is vibe coded removes part of the responsibility nowadays?
vibe coding in my understanding is losing/confusing the mental model of your codebase, you don't know what is what and what is where. i haven't found a term to define "competently coding with ai as the interface".
i don't understand why do competent people need to mention that they vibe coded something.
