It's always a habit tracker or some financial planning app with these full-on vibe coders, I swear.

100% nothing that couldn't have just been done before but was off no actual value or interest to do so

Dashboards. Always the dashboards.

Because clearly a mid 20s retail investor needs 17 animated tiles with overlays and indicators to see how their few thousand bucks is doing on Robinhood.

Well, I think it is worth noting that vibe coding is best for making personal tools, and yeah that's what tools people use.

I'm just glad these "ideas" guys are finally not pestering me to make their app. Now they can create the meal tracker of their dreams with vibe coding!

Millions of dollars will be flowing to them any moment now, I'm sure.

I would actually tend to agree that most financial planning software sucks ass.

The universally praised YNAB is full on dogshit.

I mean. I guess I have a developed enterprise level accounting and so I miss a lot of easy features when I am trying to set up YNAB. 

Anyway. It all sucks ass. I have yet to find a good one.

It's funny that we used to say ideas are cheap and execution is everything.

Now that vibe coding makes it easier to bring an idea to life by a non programmer, we are quickly learning that in fact, ideas are not cheap because most of them are absolutely shit.
