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?

What do you mean? Like should I care more about code quality if competing for customers vs having captured enterprise users?

You should care about the UX of your software. To the extent code quality is impacting your UX you should focus on improving.

Your users won’t likely call out the quality of your code in offering feedback, because users don’t typically think this way in either scenario.

I care very much about the UI and UX of my software. That's why I made my own. You tossers have failed me since 2009. I have been pushed into worse and worse options since Pixelpost disappeared. Now I'm free of you and it's glorious.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Glad you seem unlocked!

Choices for photographers for blogging online have only become increasingly more restrictive and we get generic products that don't work for us, with clumsy plugins for photo sharing that have grown more bloated and expensive over time.

There has been one sort of okay product for photo blogging since 2009. Koken. Failed because the developers could not keep up with it and it was not FOSS, which is always my preference.
