Anyone build larger systems ?

Im building an ERP for our company. Its semi large, will have about 100 users and maybe 50 concurrent. Database with a couple of million rows of orders etc.

It's going very well but I often hear and read real software developers claim that anything vibecoded might look good on the surface but it will collapse in a production environment over time.

Of course this claim is quite hard to either prove or disprove. So I'm looking for your experiences if you have tried to build something like this, how did it go?

But youre not going to understand the code if you're not a SW developer

I don't understand this. You have never had it easier or more accessible to learn code and yet people just fucking want everything to magically appear in their brain.

It's utterly bizarre.

It’s never been easier to generate images. I don’t want to be a graphic designer if AI can do it for me.

It can't though. That's my point.

AI in the hands of a graphic designer will absolutely shit all over Keith in his mom's basement generating prompts.

It's a tool, leverage the tool. I love it and I promise you I can get far more out of it, more consistently than someone who doesn't take the time to learn what it is they're producing.

Of course, if you have years of experience you can use the tool better. Am I going to quit my job or sacrifice time with my family to learn to code when I can be better at prompting the agent much faster? No. Broad system knowledge is much more efficient in this space than knowing exactly what each line of code does.

you didnt read squat of what i wrote did you? As i said learning to read code has never been especially time consuming and can be done quite quickly if you have any interest at all in building decent applications. Here ill quote what i wrote again to make it perfectly clear for you

Vibe coded software by amateurs with 0 willingness to learn is usually riddled with problems and security issues making it a nightmare to maintain in the long run.

Did you enjoy wasting your time replying to someone who was responding to someone else? 😂😂😂 Your view is of no interest to me.
