They clean up AI shitty code?
More like, take a bunch of screenshots of vibe coded website, and treat that as design document while rewriting the whole thing from scratch with clean architecture.
tbh, if they were smart and knew what they were doing, they should have done it that way from the beginning, but they want to cut corners. AI is great at rapid prototyping; but it's not trustworthy enough to call that a finished product.
To be fair, that's usually the fastest option to fix other people's code even if it wasn't vibe coded. Sometimes that's the best way to fix your own code too.
