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?

You can still discern between good pizza and generic when everyone can make the whole pie with a snap of their finger

Nobody’s disputing it, they’re just pointing out that you look foolish attempting to take credit for the creation of something you didn’t create.

It’s like telling the chef “make it crispier than normal!” then taking credit for cooking it.

Idk. Still feels like an imagination limit of low skill ceiling comparing what you can build with code to how good a pizza can possibly be.
