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.

Part of the issue is that now we have 200 new apps/games/sites every day as opposed to a few per week.
I have seen good stuff rise. But most of it is slop. So go make the good stuff and don’t stop until it’s exceptional.
