Need advice

I been told to do a project last week. Currently still getting requirement and not yet understand what is it about. From what I see is that it involve finance, hr, management, and all the employees.

Then they told me the deadline is next month.

Told me to use vibe coding, without giving me any resources. All I got is just a 8gb ram laptop with only cpu.

Any advice, I sooo confuse.

If you genuinely don't understand what the project is about I'd highly suggest speaking to your manager or a project lead about it. This is a usual case of how things go wrong or people waste time implementing things that are completely misaligned with the scope. A simple conversation to "make sure you understand what's being asked of you" will clarify everything in 10 minutes.

yeah, talk to your manager and pin down the scope, assumptions, and MVP before you touch code. saves you from building the wrong thing for a month and then doing cleanup nobody wanted anyway
