I'm building job board for developers to find jobs fixing AI generated apps

As I taking a break from working after a burnout last year I started to experiment with AI tooling and discovered how amazing and painful it can be at the same time. We all see how fast is vibe coding growing and every day brings new stories of guy how vibe coded entire app without any coding knowledge and now does not know how to fix new problems and is burning aimlessly through tokens. When playing with it sometimes I faced similar problems myself and only more experienced friends could help with that.

At the same time the market for software developer jobs is getting worse with AI trying to take over each part of this space. Vibe coding is here to stay, but there is a way to help both groups by making a place where they can connect. App owners can solve problems they have and developers get a chance to earn some money. With this idea in mind I decided to build job board dedicated for such cases. It consists of two sides: - regular job board with offers from people who need their ai generated apps fixed; - people who want to post their profiles as professionals/talents who can fix those problems;

Both would be paid at some point, but having an account as somewhat wants to find a job and applying for offers will be free.

Although the scope of what I wanted to prepare is almost done, I am looking for a feedback on the idea as I want to make sure that both groups of users will find this helpful, and maybe I will help people land some contracts in this economy

How I envision this to work:

- vibe code a thing

- it doesn't work, but it was CHEAP

- hire someone "to fix it"

- actually means "rewrite most of it, but cheaper"

- also means "become the scapegoat"

To a developer, it offers most of the work for very little payment. Not an enticing proposition.

(Yes, I've been burned by various "it's 90% done, we just need a few fixes", and that was BEFORE the current slop era)
