Luckily, vibe coders have yet to see ACTUAL success, just hyping up CLAIMS of success on social media.

They want to produce something without having the skills to produce it. Which, you know, probably isn't uncommon. I'd love to be able to rock out the guitar solo in Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country" [0] or "Afterlife" [1] or the first solo in Judas Priest's "Painkiller" [2], but to get to that skill level takes years of practice, which I'm quite frankly not willing to put in.

The difference is the honesty. A vibe coder produces something barely more than "Hello world" and brags about being able to produce software without learning to code. Nobody grabs a guitar, learns two chords, then claims to be a guitarist.
