This is so difficult to read that I was tempted to just throw it into a chat model and let it summarize from me. Still tried to make sense between all those furry images.
Now from what I understand the company rode the pandemic wave and over hired and over spent. Their VC funded competitors out market and out sold them.
The plan was to exit gracefully once a certain number was hit and return money to investors. But then investors decided to bet on a SaaS.
As revenue went down and teams were cut down. With no revenue to support the engineering team. Investors/leadership are now taking a bet on the vibe coded SaaS.
Rest of the post is lamentation about this badly written SaaS and its vibe coded nature. There seem to be no formal contract with this SaaS but people are already being laid off and the non-American app developers seem unaware of local laws etc etc.
As much I feel for the writer I don't think the title is apt. It isn't as much as Vibe coding which killed the team, as it was bad financial decisions. Surely this vibe coded app hastened the demise and much could be said about the terrible decision to go with a vibe coded app.
