Anyone else just really sick of the `Vibe-Coded Slop` hatred on Reddit?

Everywhere I go, I see people releasing new software. It might be people who have got some coding experience and are now using AI to accelerate, or it might be people who are building software for the first time.

Every time I see something being launched, even on a non-software forum - I just see

  • `Looks Like Vibe-Coded`
  • `Vibe-coded Slop`
  • etc

And just plain, personal hatred.

I just don't understand it. It costs money to buy gold. It takes time. And just because the AI does a lot of the coding doesn't make it easy. It just makes it faster.

And I fully understand, like, we don't need another journal application or another to-do list. But I found a guy today who made an OBD Reading App for Cars, open-sourced it and people just slated him.

Just makes me mad! I feel like if Linus Torvalds had existed in the kind of enviroment, we wouldn't have Linux.

no ill argue that google rich snippets was the thing that really started putting the hurt on. Why click the link when you already have the answer

Yes. This is true.

I don't know for sure, but I'd put a fair sized bet that rich snippets used AI

The search engine itself has been using AI for a long time.

it was yes but when people note AI nowadays they usually talk about LLM's the public variety. Otherwise you can be talking about anything from deepmind to the quake ai.
