I've ended up becoming the sole caretaker of two react native apps, something I did not ask for but some people were fried.

I'm not going to manually troubleshoot and learn everything that breaks when I need to update a dependency. I'll vibe through those errors, learn what I have time for and then test it like mad.

A lot of the time I end up having to solve things myself but my job wouldn't be tolerable if I had to manually work that shit.

Yeah. The "this got dumped on us and we're doing the minimum until we can replace it" is a genuinely solid use case for vibe coding.

And honestly, that's all I usually did with those before AI came along anyway. So I welcome better tools for it.
