Vibe Coders might be serious, but I cannot take them seriously, especially when they say "It is a must-have skill". (www.youtube.com)

Just to clarify, I google a lot while coding, but one thing I learnt from my engineering degree is that is there is no 'best' solution.

How are any of the produced "apps" actually useful and not just buggy copies of better things that exist?

Am I missing something or is this just for generic, low tech "I need a website" use cases?

We already have tons of prebuilt websites available to slot someone's shitty home business into too. AI slop is just a worse version of the things we already had.

I did use AI for my first project to automate my coworkers job. But that was me learning how to set these things up with C#. I did the coding. ChatGpt told me if it was possible or not and how. Something someone with knowledge could make in a week I build in 3 months and refined into a very usable app.

But I didn't just let the AI do the thinking of what I should have the app do.

Edit: we did replace that guy with a person. But in the mean time that software I wrote helped my non technical boss work with us in the meantime. It does have its merrits.
