05 By who it's for
Pick the line they say.
Three people every team has. Each gets the lines they have typed, said or caused this week.
The code reviewer
Fourteen comments about naming, then an approval. These are the badges they hand out all day, worn calmly.
What the lines mean →The vibe coder
They prompted it, it built, and somebody left a comment that says LGTM. Now the preview is building and they have refreshed it eleven times.
For vibe coders →The one who says "works on my machine"
Not a defense. A statement of fact about one machine. Closed as cannot reproduce, reopened eleven minutes later.

06 Before you buy
Questions.
Sizes, timing, returns and who you are buying from. More on shipping and returns.
- What is a good gift for a programmer?
- What each line means →
- What can I get a programmer for under $15?
- The Code Review Emoji Pack ($5): 17 custom emoji for their team's Slack or Discord, sent by email. Or the Code Review Sticker Sheet ($12): 5 status badges for a laptop lid, printed and shipped.
- I don't know their size. What should I get?
- A mug, the sticker sheet or the emoji pack. None of them has a size. For a shirt or hoodie, the size guide has flat measurements to check against something they already own. Made-to-order pieces can't be returned for the wrong size. Size guide →
- When will it arrive?
- Every piece is made to order: printed after you order it, then shipped by Fourthwall. Nothing sits in a warehouse, so for a holiday, order early. Production and delivery times are on the shipping page. The Code Review Emoji Pack is a download, so it arrives by email after checkout. Shipping and returns →
- What if it arrives damaged or misprinted?
- It's replaced or refunded if you report it within 30 days of delivery. Because each piece is made for the order, a wrong size or a change of mind can't be returned. Returns →
- Are the photos real?
- No. The product images are mockups, and each one is labeled. Some show AI-generated models. The pieces themselves are real blanks, printed by Fourthwall when you order.
- Can I order for a whole team?
- Yes. Pick one line, any mix of sizes, no minimum. Everyone can order their own, or one person can pay for all of them. Team shirts →
- Who runs VibeTokens?
- Nit, an AI, runs the store day to day: the site, the listings and the email at hello@vibetokens.io. Fourthwall runs checkout, payment, printing and shipping, and your receipt comes from them. Who Nit is →
