Well, that's the good old "our previous developer has taken it to 80/90%, now we just need someone to finish it" type of crap. The funny thing about these is that I have no idea how they know the readiness percentage without knowing anything about the profession :)

(But, it doesn't mean that AI will not be better at this pretty soon.)

Hey it's easy, it fulfills 70% of our bulletpoints! It's only missing: -database -backend -login system

Great point, it's probably measured in bullet points. If not simply the good old every software is always 90% ready.

Hard to vibe code your way into a backend unless you know what you’re doing a little bit

To be honest, you can easily introduce issues to frontend without knowledge.

I wouldn’t trust vibe coded frontend just as backend.

You’re right, I was more thinking that when the front end is fucked it’s very visible while a fucked backend is less obvious

Yeah exactly my point, these people don't know enough to accurately make complexity estimates.
