I've vibe coded all sorts of apps for my macbook. A better replacement to iStat Menus. A local-only voice to text whisper.cpp transcriber I can globally use while holding ctrl-semicolon. A menubar app that manages blocky and can easily turn it off or change dns. A tool like hammerspoon but I configure it via nix-darwin and it has no cruft. All of these are apps that use 30MB memory and are better than the apps they replace, and I can make changes any time I want. That's far better than using someone else's software and giving it privileged access to my machine. Also, perhaps the best point is that so much software is junk that is obsoleted by someone with better UX intuitions even if they are vibe-coding it. Being written by hand by an engineer means basically nothing when it comes to "is this a good app?" Which is why product-minded people are the biggest winners in the new AI era. | ||
