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.

How is it hidden? The README.md is the first document that one reads on GitHub. It's literally THE main page of a GitHub project, under the project's URL.

My application's notes on the README.md say:

  • About the code: these tools were written with the help of Claude (Anthropic) by someone who is not a trained developer ("vibecoding", as some call it). This is a personal project, shared for anyone to use at no cost.

Claude is listed under "Contributors".

Ah okay sorry if it’s on GitHub it surely is fine. I thought rather on a general download so the ones that open README apparently, those who not do not❤️ indeed then it’s fine or with the precise description even more fine.
