Every time someone claims they “vibe coded an app,” at least one of the following is true: - It’s completely worthless garbage because the software is unmaintainable slop. - It’s of marginal commodity value because it can easily be copied by someone else vibe coding. - They’re lying.

    @thedansimonson@lingo.lol I have yet to encounter anyone who admits they vibecoded. On reddit, it's always 'I built an app'. Then the question comes of did you use AI? And the answer is typically some kind of waffle instead of admitting it. I see this at least once a week.

  • @thedansimonson@lingo.lol Another variant of point 2 is, it's of zero commodity value because it's a toy example of something nobody needs more of, e.g. a kanban board, a photo organising app, a shitty 2D browser game. It's already a copy of a copy of a copy of the tutorial code the LLM was trained on.

    @thedansimonson@lingo.lol Sure, It's absolutely possible you, with no formal education in the field, came up with something innovative that nobody in the field came up with in the last 80 years... It's not super likely you'd do that using a program designed to synthesise the average of all computer programs though.
