Here's something. It doesn't follow your rules.

Then why did you submit it, dipshit?

Given your tone in these posts it seems unlikely to meet the kind of standards you are looking for.

That "kind of standards" being basic competence.

Vibe coding is of course a less than optimal process for the kind of tasks you've specified here

Oh no, tasks that have actual concrete outcomes and requirements! Vibe coders biggest nemesis!
