[Student] Is using the word "vibecode" informal? How should I write this resume bullet point
Hi everyone, before I get started, no I did not vibecode an entire project and am asking if thats what I should say.
One of my main tasks at an internship I completed, was refactoring an entire codebase into proper layered architecture. There were files that were 4000+ lines long because whatever developer worked there before me put no thought behind designing it. The team that was currently working on it had extreme difficulty debugging and scaling because of how unorganized the files were.
While I did use tools like copilot to help me, I refactored those files using layered architecture and cleaned up the codebase using SOLID principles and whatever.
One of my guesses with the future of backend work, is that theres going to be a lot of examples like this. I would think new developers are going to be working with/cleaning poor code done by companies hiring pure vibecoders.
What I'd like to get across in my resume bullet point is my knowledge of system design, while also showing that I have experience working with messy vibe code as it might reflect what they currently have lol
Currently, I have something like this:
Refactored (or transformed?) 4,000+ lines of unstructured vibecode into a controller-service layered architecture enforcing SOLID design principles; ensuring long-term scalability and reduced debugging complexity
However, im not sure if using the word "vibecode" is too casual or if Im even getting my point across.
Any advice on how I can word this, thanks!
