Does somebody have an example of a good app made by vibe coding? I keep hearing this and while I am sure its great for prototyping and exploration I just don't

  Like everything else online, it's a social media trend/meme. Someone makes a social media post and it gets dopamine clicks and now others want in on the dopamine clicks so they too jump into social media circle jerk. I also feel thesea re the kinds of trends mediocre influence programmers like jumping on. So they live vibe code to show how hip and in the know they are by adopting new ideas and tech when in fact they are padding out their social channels with ad delivery schlock.

  "Vibe coding" exists on the same spiritual plane as "Robinhood options trader" and "Twitch entrepreneur". Attaching one's earning potential to the strength of a platform that's often profiled in the media.

  I think this is the biggest problem with this post. Sure, I can definitely see how it might be fun to make an app in a day or two and release it to yourself and a couple friends. But any app that a decent number of people would want to download and use probably won’t be ’vibe coded’, any polished app made by a large corporation certainly won’t be. The author states that developers will flee Apple because of this friction, but developers will go where the customers are, and I’m not sure a meaningful number of customers care about this.
