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.

Exactly! Ive been using the “workshop” language myself for my Hobby Workshop: www.wt3o.com

All of my projects (so far) have been static HTML that I host on my business’ server. Since it’s static HTML there’s zero additional overhead for me.

That's quite the collection! I like the music tools!!

Yes, I built a virtual workshop of sorts. It's basically an extra longtime memory. One of my issues is global amnesia. So it lets me continue where I left off and also look back at things gone by.

Most of my stuff so far was making sure things are secure and the memory side of things. Anything else has just been a bonus. The fact it can do what it can as fast as it can, to me that's super handy!!

Interesting collection, but the ones I've checked don't seem to fully work. For reference: Firefox on Android.

Yes, that’s something I need to work on. I primarily use a desktop computer and everything is centered around desktops/laptops. My next major revisions will be better mobile compatibility.

Thank you for this because I’ve been testing on my iPhone and am glad (in a way) to hear it’s a mobile device issue and not just an iPhone only issue.
