My boss vibe coded out team tracker. It exists in sharepoint and has a dependency on OneDrive for local sync. You prepend a .txt with your new weekly tasks, run a python program to ingest the update into a static html, open the html in browser to an interactive tracker, update the status of historic tasks in there, export the changes as text, then prepend the export to a second .txt. He says “those text files are your only deliverables.”

So that’s vibe coding from my point of view. A big ol’ pain in the ass.

    Exactly. Sounds like your boss just asked the ai for a program that does team tracking and this is what it gave him. No understanding of how or why, and all pretense of best practices is out the window.

    Meanwhile ask anyone with a basic understanding of software and programming and they'd be able to whip something basic up that works and isn't difficult to use. And if there's an issue, they'll know how to fix it or make changes if boss doesn't like something about it. Meanwhile your boss will probably defend his clunky slop to the grave, because he made it and calling it out is a personal attack on him.
