This article makes sense when you figure out that the author's assumption is that vibe-coded == bad.
It sounds like this startup headed for closure anyway, with it's failing revenue, "At the same time, the current revenue projection calls for the end of the business within a few more months."
So, the vibe-coded app is a hail mary by the CEO / investors? If you're already just a few months from closing shop, maybe switching to a vibe-coded up saves you a ton of engineering headcount and gives you a chance? Changes the math on how you price the product?
Maybe slugs were meant for better things than engineering
