TLDR I'm a complete outsider and was able to vibe code something that the IT department couldn't figure out.Setting the stage: I'm not a developer but I work for a company that mostly sells a software. I work with customer support, not IT. My coding capabilities are those of a kid after a couple of python lessons. I'm plainly able to iterate through an array or create a "person" class with an age init variable that has a "grow old" method that increases their age. I worked that out during high school and have never used it for anything.The IT department is right next to mine and I had an idea to solve the problem they were working on. It's basically just turning visually assorted data into a json format.I had the very simple idea of thresholding the file and looking for polygons of all black pixels sandwiched by bordering polygons of all white pixels of the same shape. Then, I'd save multiple versions of the file, each 1 polygon's inside left untouched and all of the other polygons masked out.That made it so that the tesseract could read it and put it in the json file.It takes less than 10 seconds to do all of that for 1 file. Thousands can be processed a day using the script, and losing bits and pieces here and there doesn't really matter.It worked right away (I wouldn't have the capacity to debug it anyway) and I didn't even skim through it.I handed them the code because I owed one of them a favor.
You clearly don't know what vibecoding is bruvI got to sleep and wake up to 50k LOC abominations.
