Feels like I'm a guinea pig for my CEO's weekly vibe-coded projects

Hey folks,

I'm working remotely for a startup, opposite timezone, and I need to vent/get some perspective.

I was hired to build a Go backend connect some third party APIs, integrate OpenAI for analysis, and later add Kafka as a message broker for scalability. Clear scope, achievable in a couple months, I was on board.

This scope lasted about two weeks.

Since then my CEO has gone full vibe-code mode. Every week there's something new.

First he built a custom HTTP framework (okay, there are existing ones like Gin but sure, I'll roll with it). Then he iterated on that with more custom tooling around it (getting stranger). Now he's building a custom database engine.

A DATABASE Engine

All of it AI generated. All of it with docs that are either architecture diagrams or raw source code with minimal usage examples. No quickstarts, no "here's how you actually use this thing." Just vibes and 1000 line markdown file.

The HTTP framework itself has had silent failures that surface no errors, type definitions that don't match actual runtime behavior, and logging that doesn't work in half the execution contexts. I'm supposed to build on top of this.

Meanwhile I'm in a completely opposite timezone, it's Ramadan, and every time I flag an issue I get "just use ai to and roll with it" I feel like there's no seriousness here just debugging an undocumented vibe-coded framework at 3am on 5 hours of sleep.

The original project was solid. The current project is "figure out whatever I built this week."

Has anyone else been in a situation like this? At what point do you have the "this isn't what I signed up for" conversation, and how do you have it without torching the relationship?
