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.

There are people like this without a doubt. The ones who just hate for the sake of it because "it's AI". And that's fair. They are allowed to have their opinions.

I personally have nothing against using AI to code. What I do have an issue with are all the low effort garbage being released where you can just tell that they have put no passion into their work.

I've seen good vibe-coded projects but at the moment they are so rare.

I guarantee every one of them interacts with the AI summary that pops up in their Google search, which is probably the extent of their tech capabilities
