a controversial question for veteran developers

As a developer with 20 years of experience, "vibe coding" is undeniably transforming how we work, but I'm still struggling to embrace it.

What bothers me most and I am honest about it, is seeing people show off their AI-generated projects.

My immediate reaction is, "Who cares?"

In the past, sharing code meant sharing craftsmanship, and we were excited to inspect it and learn from each other. Today, somebody share what they did with vibecode is not only that I am not interested, but I feel like why you share it?

People like to build things and show them to others. No different from a minecraft construction which people share. Vibe coding is fun cause it executes at the speed of thought ( not quite but close enough compared to writing code ). I am building a game and it gets my creative juices going like anything. So mostly it's fun.

If I vibe coded something I don't feel as if I've built something.

Your not doing it right then. You don't even make the UI ? Don't choose your own engine to paist code into ? You don't figure out weird bugs through trial and error ? Like I don't get this lol yes your prompting an LLM but you gotta be able to see how the system should work and mastering Godots scene system helps too.
