MacAMP dev shows why vibecoding can't replicate real audio architecture
HankYeomans · x · 2026-09-29
Developer Hank Yeomans shared simplified architecture sketches of his MacAMP player to answer why it can't just be vibecoded. The audio pipeline is deeply involved: the oscilloscope is accurate to the track's actual frequencies, not a bouncing decoration. He argues that a fake visualizer is "cauliflower rice" — and that most things built without domain knowledge are equally hollow. Internet radio, docking, and skin loading all required real architecture. Core takeaway: everything done well has architecture, and domain knowledge still matters in the AI coding era.
