why: >-
  So that a vibe-coding project crashing hard stops being a private, quiet defeat
  and becomes something a person takes to peers — who make the failure survivable,
  and sometimes help turn it into something better.

how:
  - "A shared place where the rant itself is the accepted, expected first move — not a help request."
  - "Peer response that aims at making the failure bearable (sympathy, humour, solidarity) before it aims at fixing anything."

what:
  - "vibe-rant — a venue for vibe-coders to rant about broken projects and get peer response."

who:
  cohort: "Hobbyist and semi-serious vibe-coders whose AI-assisted projects break in ways they cannot debug."
  job_functional: "Make this failure bearable enough that I don't quit the project."
  today: >-
    Unknown — not yet observed. Founder has seen rants online but has not spoken to
    anyone. Founder's own behaviour (in-cohort): fixes silently, tells no one.

    note: "Directly contradicts the behaviour vibe-rant requires. Flagged as the brief's most important datum."

    note: "Volume, intent, and whether the ranter returns are all unknown. Q3 names this as the idea's likeliest fatal flaw."
