There was the whole thing about the app for relationship pdiscussions, "Tea" I think, being apparently vibe coded and lacking proper security, leading to a data breach.
More generally, I think vibe coding has replaced lots of mockups and demos for startups. There is really zero excuse to show slides or figma now in am early product demo. There are definitely startups succeeding on this basis, as in getting funding and signing up customers.
If success means being profitable and running stable software, I don't see vibe coding as currently able to carry a company all the way through, but it's definitely part of the journey now.
- herval 1y agothere’s no evidence “Tea” was vibecoded (especially because it was launched in early 2023, when tools like Cursor weren’t really widely used). All evidence seems to point to the usual issue 9 out of 10 startups face (and have always faced) - unprotected S3 buckets (this was Tea’s issue), misconfigured firebase or supabase RLS (I made some good money helping startups close these holes a few times) or unauthenticated APIs.
