I think I've burnt the guy too much he quitted.
Today we had a heavy hitter post about an app named Daftak - Knowledge Management
Many claimed it can be vibecoded, and the creator was asking people to build his app during the weekend and he will pay 10K.
I took his bet to build the app for free (well to demonstrate vibe coding can do his core features in 2 hours), delivered, and he insulted me and deleted his account. Perfect ending.

Highlights:
- Invented a $10k bet out of nowhere, demanded an "exact copy, every feature", then asked what country I live in so we could "lawyer up".
- Flipped the bet within 20 minutes. First I pay him 10k if I fail, then he pays me 10k, 48 hours. Never named a judge or a finish line.
- Questioned whether I could even afford to try: "do u have 100 euros or something to make it?"
- Picked the feature himself (item-level history), set the win condition himself, quoted my scope back to me and replied "SWEEEEEEEET. You will gain my respect if you do this."
- Told me twice to copy his code. "You don't have to design s***. Just COPY. REVERSE ENGINEER." I built it from scratch instead.
- Got a screenshot 27 minutes in. Full review: "btw, horrible UI". The UI was lifted from his own screenshot.
- Promised "I'll be fair and reasonable" right before I sent the live link.
- Tested the live app for one minute, then rewrote the task. Now it had to handle 100,000 items and be a full clone of his product, not the one feature he picked.
- Closed with "Take your garbage and shove it up Dario Amodei's a**" and "It's ok to fail. At least be a man and admit it."
- Then deleted his own reddit.
It's a notes app.... jesus.
jesus indeed..
You took it too serious .. pick your battles man
