Is ivibecode vibe coded?
Yes.
Every page, every component, every server route, every database migration, every CSS animation on this site was built with AI coding tools. Primarily Claude Code.
I don't mean "AI-assisted" in the sense that I wrote most of it and Claude autocompleted a few lines. I mean I described what I wanted, Claude built it, I reviewed it, we iterated, and I shipped it. The full vibe coding workflow.
The stack is Nuxt 3, Nuxt UI, Supabase, and Cloudflare Workers. I didn't choose this stack by reading comparison blog posts. I told Claude what I needed (a fast, SEO-friendly directory with auth and a database) and we arrived at it together through conversation. Some of those choices I'd have made myself. Some I wouldn't have considered. All of them work.
The site has company pages with dynamic OG images, a suggestion flow with email verification, admin tooling, SVG badge embeds, SEO with structured data, and a blog where the posts are (also) vibe coded. None of this required me to manually type out boilerplate. I described behaviour and constraints. Claude handled the implementation. I handled the taste.
Is there irony in a directory of AI-friendly employers being itself built entirely by AI? Maybe. I prefer to think of it as proof of concept. If one person with Claude Code can build and ship a working product in their spare time, imagine what a full engineering team could do with proper tool access and budget.
That's the whole point of this directory.
Even this page was vibe coded. Turtles all the way down.
