你的凭感觉编程应用可能看起来没问题，但上线后就崩溃。REA 向你展示真实团队是如何构建的。

Your Vibe-Coded App Can Look Right And Fall Apart After Launch. REA Shows You How Real Teams Build.

REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) lets Claude Code or OpenAI Codex open up the software on your computer and show you how it actually works. If you've ever vibe-coded an app that looked right and fell apart after launch, this is how you learn what real software has to do.

What's really happening with REA?

The common story is that REA means the death of software, but the real question is how few of us understand the software we already use, let alone the software we're trying to build.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on using REA to understand software:

• How an authenticator app turns a key and the clock into six digits
• What Notion's copy and paste reveals about building your own editor
• Why a calculator's percent button shows what a real requirement looks like
• How Ledger Reborn used a QuickBooks investigation to build a new accounting app

Agents can write more of the code now, so the people who understand what software should do, developers or not, get the biggest advantage.
