Padlock: A post-quantum encoding utility for backups & border-crossings (github.com/blues)

I've been annoyed lately by posts (elsewhere) by vibe-coding startup CEOs who think they can build companies without developers. These are not serious people.

Recently, my head spun around a bit when I saw an experiment done by my team at blues, and I realized it was time for me to dig a bit deeper. https://www.tjvantoll.com/2025/03/17/vibecoding/

And so, over the past few weeks I've done an interesting CEO vibe-coding experiment of my own, trying to test the limits and to see how close I could come to building something that could be regarded as 'ship quality'.

Did I succeed? You be the judge.

I didn't write a single line of code in this repo, but, as HN would expect, my instructions were voluminous and needed to be quite detailed. An interesting experience, nonetheless.
