Yup 100% on the nextjs. 80% on the AI (because it seems to be used by someone who doesn't have technical skill) ;P
I've had projects like it before AI, and was one of the few that could quickly navigate and fix them (including upgrading dependencies to latests), but you really have to not think about how the code should be structured, and instead find flows that need to be adjusted.

Job interview
Oh, Elon.
Working on a really neat idea app for client as a consultant.The app is in production and has active users. Sounds great except few facts like...
...every developer left the company, no handover whatsoever, no documentation, founder is vibe coding the app with claude and pushes like 500 times daily directly to master, production breaks every minute, its a slow dockerized nextjs fullstack app - literally waiting like half a minute when clicking on a link locally, prisma migrations don't work at all, also a lot of unfinished integrations with 3rd party services...
First time working on the vibe coded app, certainly will be also last. No money will get me into project like this again. Good thing is that I am almost over with it. Will never look back!
Also next js no more, I'll rather herd goats on a mountain than fixing someone elses nextjs sloppy app again.
Happy Friday everyone! 💕
