Have there been examples of vibe coding projects that produce something legitimately new, or that a realistic person would choose to use instead of existing options? Like, I spent $10 or something for Things 3 years ago. I had no interest in learning to code to build a similar system from scratch, and I can trust the app maker will keep it updated with each new iOS version, etc. Someone making a more rudimentary version on their own… OK? I guess it’s interesting but it doesn’t seem that significant to me. Could I learn how to make sushi at home? Sure, I probably could. But it would take a lot of time, I probably wouldn’t be very good at it, maybe I’d make myself sick, etc. I am happy to pay an expert some money and let them do it. If a new machine came out that made it 5X easier to make sushi at home… I dunno, I’m still not sure it would be worth the opportunity cost. So I wonder if all this vibe coding stuff is similar to in-home pizza ovens… some people have those, and like them, but I would never be like, “Holy shit dude, you made a fucking pizza on your own?!? Bro!”, and I have no illusions that pizza joints are going to go away. For the majority of people, convenience is king. Am I missing something about all of this? submitted by /u/FleetBroadbill
