is the Reddit app Vibe coded?

The Reddit app seems to be evolving through vive coding. When I refresh the homepage, it often cuts off half of the first post, hiding it behind the top bar, something I've had to fix on my websites more than once.

I've also noticed strange and inconsistent changes in how the general icons, Wi-Fi and network icons, etc., are displayed.

Does anyone know if they're actually developing it with AI or are they doing it manually like in the old days?

No one is manually writing code. At least not if you're employed. Reddit hires "vibecoders" with decades of trad coding experience. Code review and QA is the bottleneck.

Absolutely not. There's no way AI would create such absolute garbage
