Vibe coding is sufficient for job hoppers who never finish anything and leave when the last 20% have to be figured out. Much easier to promote oneself as an expert and leave the hard parts to other people.

I’ve found incredible productivity gains writing (vibe coding) tools for myself that will never need to be “productionised” or even used by another person. Heck even I will probably never use the latest log retrieval tool, which exists purely for Claude code to invoke it. There is a ton of useful software yet to be written for which there _is_ no “last 20%”.

		These tools are so useful and make you so much more "productive" that you don't think anyone else would want to pay anything for them huh? Did your boss at least give you a big raise for your "productivity" increase, or maybe lay off some of your underperforming coworkers bc you are just so much better now?

All software is not meant to be open-source, in production and working on 100 platforms.

Sometimes the point of the software is to make an app with 2 buttons for your mom to help her do her grocery shopping easier

Do you mean vibe coding as-in producing unreviewed code with LLMs and prompting at it until it appears to work, or vibe coding as a catch-all for any time someone uses AI-assistance to help them write code?

		Karpathy uses the term for all of this in the exuberant paragraph 5. of his blog post.
